Searching Class Variables

[Mats]

So I have a class:

class player
{
    public:
        short int health = 5;
        short int damage = 5;
        string name;
};

int main()
{
player one;
one.health = 3;

player two; 

player three;
three.health = 2;
three.damage = 2; 

etc... 

My code actually has 60 instances of the class, most of them deviating slightly from the default variables. How can I search for class members that have certain variables? For example, how to find all players with 5 health, or all players with the same name?

Would it also be good practice to use a header file to define all these things?

[abhishekm71]

store each instance in a vector like:

std::vector<player> playerList;

you can then search this vector using std::find_if. Ofcourse you will have to

#include <vector> and #include <algorithm>
