Switch statement doesn't work with enum (C++) - c++

Question

enum Maximum_Value{
MAXIMUM_VALUE_1 = 0,
MAXIMUM_VALUE_7 = 1,
MAXIMUM_VALUE_15 = 2,
MAXIMUM_VALUE_26 = 3,
MAXIMUM_VALUE_34 = 4
};
int value_from_function = functionetc();
switch(value_from_function){
MAXIMUM_VALUE_1: printf("MAXIMUM_VALUE_1 :%x\n",value_from_function); break;
MAXIMUM_VALUE_7: printf("MAXIMUM_VALUE_7 :%x\n",value_from_function); break;
MAXIMUM_VALUE_15: printf("MAXIMUM_VALUE_15 %x\n",value_from_function); break;
MAXIMUM_VALUE_26: printf("MAXIMUM_VALUE_26 %x\n",value_from_function); break;
MAXIMUM_VALUE_34: printf("MAXIMUM_VALUE_34 %x\n",value_from_function); break;
default: printf("default :%x\n",value_from_function);
}
The code above always seems to hit the default statement, printing "default :0" even though that should hit MAXIMUM_VALUE_1.
I've tried casting the variable in switch to no effect
I guess I should save the return value into a variable of type "Maximum_Value", but why doesn't the code work anyway?
Edit: Thanks for pointing out the awfully stupid mistake everyone :P. The root of the problem was copying coding from systemverilog, which uses 'case' as a keyword instead of 'switch', and doesn't require 'case' at the start of each case

Answer 1

Enumerators aren't labels but switch statements jump to labels. You use case to create a label switch statements can jump to:
case MAXIMUM_VALUE_1: ...; break;

Answer 2

Add case keyword then it will work.
case MAXIMUM_VALUE_1: printf("MAXIMUM_VALUE_1 :%x\n",value_from_function); break;
case MAXIMUM_VALUE_7: printf("MAXIMUM_VALUE_7 :%x\n",value_from_function); break;
case MAXIMUM_VALUE_15: printf("MAXIMUM_VALUE_15 %x\n",value_from_function); break;
case MAXIMUM_VALUE_26: printf("MAXIMUM_VALUE_26 %x\n",value_from_function); break;
case MAXIMUM_VALUE_34: printf("MAXIMUM_VALUE_34 %x\n",value_from_function); break;
default: printf("default :%x\n",value_from_function);

Answer 3

you are missing the case keyword before every label!
syntax of switch case is-
switch(type){
case type1: ....; break;
case type2: ....; break;
......
default: .....;
}
