Question

Is there a way to count the number of objects in c++?

For example, in this code right above the name of each person, ai want it to output "Person #2" or something like that.

I've been trying to figure this out for a while lol

Answer 1

In the Human constructor:
static int id = 1;
// ...rest of code...
id++;
And you can now use the id integer in your code. You could also set an id property to each Human, if you want.

Answer 2

Ooh it works
Thanks

I didn't think about using static because I entirely forgot about it's existence xD

Now I'm trying to figure out a random 4 digit ID for each human
