Thread: Quick and Efficient?

What would be a quick and efficient way to take a monster class array and store all the monsters stats and crud like that. I don't want like 2 billion lines of code.

here's what my monster class is:

Code:

class monster
{
    private:
        int hp; //hp
        int mhp; //max hp
        int mp; //mp
        int mmp; //max mp
        int str; //effects damage given
        int def; //effects damage taken
        int mind; //effects skills
        void (*skilla)(class player target); //pointer to skill function a
        void (*skillb)(class player target); //pointer to skill function b
        void (*skillc)(class player target); //pointer to skill function c
        int expg; //exp given when defeated
    public:
        monster::monster(/*arguments*/)
        monster::~monster(/*arguments*/)
        //possibly more functions
};

Any help is appreciated. Thankie Thankie

Overload the << operator so you can do

out << monster;

Which internally is just say
out << hp << endl;
out << mhp << endl;
etc etc

i think that's a little above me. i have no idea what u mean. i know what overloading operators is...but i don't know how to. and how would i specify the hp and other stats? these are probably noobish questions...im sry
