I think I pretty much set up my enum right to the below. I just dont know what to do with it.


PRoblem Description
A type named Color declared by "enum" to contain only
black, blue, purple, red, white, and yellow.

For each set of inputs, output their sum, average,
maximum and second largest.

Sample output
Enter values 0 to 5 to represent different colors, terminated with -999:
0, 1, 2, -999
sum is 3, reprenting color purple
average is 1, color is blue,
Largest is 2, color is red,
Second largest is 1, color is blue.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

enum objectType {black, blue, purple, red, white, yellow};


//function prototype
double average(int s, int n);
objectType retrievePlay(char selection);
bool validSelection(char selection);
void convertEnum(objectType object);
void Alias();	

const int SENTINEL = -999;

typedef int Sign;
Sign negative = -10;
Sign positive = 10;


int main()
{
	int num; 	  
	int sum = 0;  	
	int counter = 0; 	
	int max;
	int max2;


		cout << "Enter values -10 or 10 or -999 to terminate.: ";
cin>>num;

	while(num != SENTINEL)					
	{
		sum = sum + num; 					
		counter++;    							


	if (num >= max) 
		{
			max2 = max;
			max = num;
		}
	
	else if (num >= max2 && num != max)
	{
		 max2 = num;
	}
	
	Alias();

	}

	cout<<"The sum of the "<<counter<<" users is "<<sum<<endl;			
	cout<<"The max number is "<<max<<endl;
	cout<<"The second largest number is "<<max2<<endl;
	cout<<"The average is  "<<average(sum,counter)<<endl;

return 0;
 }


void Alias()
{

	int num;

	do 
	{
		cout << "Enter values -10 or 10. Or -999 to terminate.: ";
		cin>>num;

		if (num != positive && num != negative && num != SENTINEL)
			cout<<"Invalid. ";
	} 
	while  ((num == positive || num == negative ) );
  



} //


bool validSelection(char selection)
{
	switch(selection)
	{
	case '1': case '2':
	case '3': case '4':
	case '5': case '6': 
		return true;
	default: return false;
	}
}

objectType retrievePlay(char selection)
{
	objectType color;

	switch(selection)
	{
	case '1': color = black;
		     			break;
  	case '2': color = blue;
						break;
  	case '3': color = purple;
						break;
	case '4': color = red;
						break;
	case '5': color = white;
						break;
	case '6': color = yellow;
						break;
  	}
	return color;
}

void convertEnum(objectType color)
{
	switch(color)
	{
	case black: ;
  			    break;
	case blue:  cout<<"blue";
  				break;
	case purple:cout<<"purple";
  				break;
	case red:   cout<<"red";
  				break;
	case white: cout<<"white";
  				break;
	case yellow:cout<<"yellow";
  				break;
	
	}				
}







double average(int s,int n)//Function to find Average
{

	double avg;

	avg=((double)s/(double)n);
	
	return avg;
}

So what exactly is your question? Do you need to know how to average, find the second highest, print out the color assiocated with the number?

Print out the color associated with the number.

Use an array of strings and look up the string.
