[swift-users] Printing Enums?

[Michael Rogers]

Hi, All:

Can someone please enlighten me as to why the first enum works as expected, giving me Melbourne, but the second gives UIModalPresentationStyle rather than fullScreen? 


enum City {
    case Melbourne, Chelyabinsk, Bursa
}
let city = City.Bursa

print(city)
// prints "Melbourne"

let cityName = "\(city)"   // or `let cityName = String(city)`
// cityName contains "Melbourne"

// Why doesn't the following work?

let presStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.fullScreen

print(presStyle) // prints UIModalPresentationStyle

let presStyleName = "\(presStyle)"


I have an ugly work-around using String UIPresentationStyle tuples, but I'd rather not use it if possible.

Thanks,

Michael

Thank you, thank you, thank you, and I'd like to thank all the little people -- Tom Thumb, Ant-Man, and, of course, all the Lilliputians -- who made this award possible 😀
