Converting Enums to Strings - Video

In your code, you will likely find numerous places where you go from an enum to a QString and back. This could, for example, be code where you serialize your data.

The code might very well look like this:

if (value == ExampleEnum::Foo)
return "Foo";
else if (value == ExampleEnum::Bar)
return "Bar";
~~~
