Setting an enum from user input

Question

Aryan Kumar · Answer

Sure, here are the steps on how to set an enum from user input in Python:
Create a variable to store the enum value.Create a loop to get user input.Use the try-except block to check if the user input is a valid enum value.If the user input is a valid enum value, then set the enum value to the variable.Otherwise, print an error message.
Here is an example of how to set an enum from user input in Python:
Python
enum MyEnum(str):
  Value1 = "VALUE1"
  Value2 = "VALUE2"
  Value3 = "VALUE3"
# Create a variable to store the enum value.
myEnum = None
# Create a loop to get user input.
while myEnum is None:
  print("Enter an enum value:")
  userInput = input()
  # Use the try-except block to check if the user input is a valid enum value.
  try:
    myEnum = MyEnum(userInput)
  except ValueError:
    print("The value is not a valid enum value.")
# Print the enum value.
print("The enum value is:", myEnum)
In this example, the MyEnum enum has three values: Value1,
Value2, and Value3. The myEnum variable is a variable that stores the enum value. The
while loop gets user input until the user enters a valid enum value. The
try-except block checks if the user input is a valid enum value. If the user input is a valid enum value, then the
myEnum variable is set to the user input. Otherwise, an error message is printed.
