Answer 2

why doesn't this work? i get an error on codeenum=input;

Answer 3

well after SALE you dont need a comma

Answer 4

also, you might want a default case

Answer 5

codeenum is an enum, therefore a glorified int. Input, on the other hand, is a String. Strings cannot be converted to enums automatically, you're going to have to do a string of ifs to assign the enum properly based on what the user typed in.
