C# how to use enum with switch

Solution 1:

You don't need to convert it

switch(op)
{
     case Operator.PLUS:
     {
        // your code 
        // for plus operator
        break;
     }
     case Operator.MULTIPLY:
     {
        // your code 
        // for MULTIPLY operator
        break;
     }
     default: break;
}

By the way, use brackets

Solution 2:

Since C# 8.0 introduced a new switch expression for enums you can do it even more elegant:

public double Calculate(int left, int right, Operator op) =>
            op switch 
        {
            Operator.PLUS => left + right,
            Operator.MINUS => left - right,
            Operator.MULTIPLY => left * right,
            Operator.DIVIDE => left / right,
            _    =>  0
        }

Solution 3:

The correct answer is already given, nevertheless here is the better way (than switch):

private Dictionary<Operator, Func<int, int, double>> operators =
    new Dictionary<Operator, Func<int, int, double>>
    {
        { Operator.PLUS, ( a, b ) => a + b },
        { Operator.MINUS, ( a, b ) => a - b },
        { Operator.MULTIPLY, ( a, b ) => a * b },
        { Operator.DIVIDE ( a, b ) => (double)a / b },
    };

public double Calculate( int left, int right, Operator op )
{
    return operators.ContainsKey( op ) ? operators[ op ]( left, right ) : 0.0;
}
