Question

I was attempting to make a simple pokemon text game in c++.
I created a class for pokemon, and then in my pokemain.cpp tried outputting hp from charmander.
When i try running my pokemonmain.cpp, it says charmander was not declared. Im sure this is a dumb question, but I cant find an answer to it.

Here is my code.

//class named stats
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class pokemon
{
    int health, damage;

    public: 

    pokemon (int,int);
    int hp() 
    {
        return (health);
    }

    int dmg()
    {
        return (damage);
    }

};

pokemon::pokemon (int hp, int dmg)
{
    health = hp;
    damage = dmg;


    pokemon charmander (25,3);
    pokemon bulbasaur (20,4);
    pokemon squirtle (30,2);
    cout<<" Charmander has "<<charmander.hp()<<" hp and "<<charmander.dmg()<<" damage.\n";
    cout<<" Bulbasaur has "<<bulbasaur.hp()<<" hp and "<<bulbasaur.dmg()<<" damage.\n";
    cout<<" Squirtle has "<<squirtle.hp()<<" hp and "<<squirtle.dmg()<<" damage.\n";

}

//pokemain.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "stats.h"
using namespace std;


int main()
{
    cout<<charmander.hp();
    return 0;
}

Answer 1

The variables charmander, bulbausar and squirtle are being declared inside the constructor. Put them in your main and it should work.

int main(void) {
    pokemon charmander(25,3);
    pokemon bulbausar(25,3);
    pokemon squirtle(25,3);

    cout<<" Charmander has "<<charmander.hp()<<" hp and "<<charmander.dmg()<<" damage.\n";
    cout<<" Bulbasaur has "<<bulbasaur.hp()<<" hp and "<<bulbasaur.dmg()<<" damage.\n";
    cout<<" Squirtle has "<<squirtle.hp()<<" hp and "<<squirtle.dmg()<<" damage.\n";

    return 0;
}
