How to get int value of Enum by providing string value in varibale

Question

Here is my code for Enum:

enum Tempurature 
{ 
    Low = 2, 
    Medium, 
    High, 
};

Temperature value = Tempurature.Medium; 
int val = (int)value; 
Console.WriteLine("Temperature value is.." + val);

Output is : Temperature value is.. 3

Now I want same output as 3 but instead of providing Tempurature.Medium, I want to send Medium in variable value.
How can i do this?
Is this possible or not?

You can parse the string into the enum type Temperature:

Tempurature temperature = (Tempurature)System.Enum.Parse(typeof(Tempurature), "Medium", true);
Console.WriteLine("Temperature value is.." + (int)temperature);

Just use value

Console.WriteLine("Temperature value is.." + value);
