Question

I have a struct, player, which is as follows:

struct player {
string name;
int rating;
};

I’d like to modify it such that I declare the struct with two arguments:

player(string, int)

it assigns the struct’s contents with those values.

Although (as has been pointed out), you can simply add a constructor:

struct player() {
    string name;
    int rating;
    player(string Name, int Rating) { 
        name = Name; rating = Rating; 
    }
}; 

Is there some reason you don’t want to make it a class?

class player() {
public:
    string name;
    int rating;
    player(string Name, int Rating) { 
        name = Name; rating = Rating; 
    }
};
