How to pass ENUM type as argument to system Verilog task or function?

SystemVerilog

Let say i have enum defined below:


 package fruit_package{
  enum enum_fruit{
    APPLE = 0,
    MANGO = 1,
    BANANA = 2,
    ORANGE = 3};
  }

I have task that should take above enum as input argument and i need get index or value assigned for each fruit in enum declaration like 0 ,1 or 2 to be assigned to local variable fruit_val. My code looks like below:


 task fruit_config( enum enum_fruit fruit);
   int fruit_val;
   
   fruit_val = fruit;
 endtask

Is this correct way to do?

Please use Code Tags. I have added them for you.

Did you read Section 6.19.4 Enumerated types in numerical expressions in the LRM? Did your code compile? Did you get a syntax error? Did your code run? Did your code give you a run-time error? Did your code work as expected? Did you get a different result than you expected?

It is difficult to provide assistance without additional information regarding the issue you are having.

It is not the correct way to declare an enum. You need a typedef.
