#include <iostream>struct Player {char name[50];int health;float score;};int main() {Player player1;player1.health = 100;player1.score = 1500.5f;Player player2 = {"Alice", 75, 2300.0f};std::cout << player1.name << ": " << player1.health << " HP" << std::endl;std::cout << player2.name << ": " << player2.health << " HP" << std::endl;return 0;}
Breakdown
1
struct Player { ... };
Defines a structure with three members: name, health, score
2
Player player1;
Creates an instance of the Player struct
3
player1.health = 100;
Access and assign values using the dot operator
4
Player player2 = {"Alice", 75, 2300.0f};
Initialize struct with values in declaration order
