How to see a value of Enum

Question

I managed to write my own code but I have a question regarding an Xcode. On the right panel there is a Enum value but how can see what that value is. For example: I have a new instance and I want to see a status, how can I see it (lets pretend I didn't write that code and I don't know what statuses are available)

you can use the rawValue (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/Swift_Programming_Language/Enumerations.html) attribute.

You can also create a function which displays a String value for the enum you created
```swift
 enum Status{
    case Pending
    case Doing
    case Completed
init(){
    self = .Pending
}

func toString() -> String{
    switch self{
    case .Pending:
        return "Pending"
    case .Doing:
        return "Doing"
    case .Completed:
        return "Completed"
    default :
        return "Not a valid status"
    }
}
}
struct Task {
    var description : String
    var status = Status()
init(description : String){
    self.description = description
}
}
var taskOne = Task(description: "Shower")
taskOne.status.toString()
taskOne.status = Status.Completed
taskOne.status.toString() 
```
