I'm working on a simple text based adventure game. I've just finished working on the character creation portion. The code works perfectly fine when run, but I would just like to get some feedback to ensure that it checks off from a professional and efficient standpoint.
The values of the materials, weapons, and spells are representing the amount of damage points each does for further and future calculations with the characters stats later in the game.
The code itself essentially allows you to input a characters name. Then, the strength, stamina, and intellect is randomly generated so that your character build is different at the beginning of each game. Then, once that has finished, the code takes into account the weapon type, the material of the weapon, the spell type and adds additional damage based on the players stats.
I would just like to know if there is a better way of writing my code to make it look cleaner, or if there possibly any concerns that might cause me issues down the road when I add more functionality to the game. Seeing as I am a beginner to C++, I am not incredibly great at determining whether my code is optimal or not.

It's extremely unclear what you're asking (or whether your post might just be a troll post), so expect it to get closed shortly.
typedef struct weapons
int dagger = 2, sword = 3, axe = 4, mace = 5, bow = 3, arrows = 2;
weapons;
The typedef struct X ... X;
pattern is a C-ism; in C++ you don't need the typedef and can just write struct X ... ;
.
You're creating a struct type named weapons
with a bunch of per-instance member variables. This is almost certainly not what you meant to do. Probably what you meant was
enum class Weapon
dagger = 2,
sword = 3,
axe = 4,
mace = 5,
;
so that you could later write
Weapon w = Weapon::sword;
if (w == Weapon::axe) ...
What you actually wrote, unfortunately, is simply nonsense.
character characterCreation(string name);
Look up the C++ notion of "constructors" (and also destructors). What you have here would normally be spelled something like
Character::Character(const std::string& name)
this->name = name;
this->strength = rand() % 5 + 5;
and so on.
Also consider writing yourself a helper function
int randint(int lo, int hi)
return rand() % (hi - lo) + lo;
so that you can write simply
this->strength = randint(5, 10);
Ninety percent of what we call "programming" is just finding sources of repetition and eliminating them.

I apologize, I should have clarified what my code is doing and what my expectations were. My post is not a troll, I prefer not to waste peoples time if I do not have to. I will make edits to the question. The numbers on the materials, weapons, and spells simply represent the amount of damage.

Thank you for the insight and helpful post though. I will take a look at more constructors and destructors. I used the struct with the hopes that I would be able to create a large combination of different weapon types/spells, being that my class has only just begun using structs I am not too familiar with constructors/destructors.

randint(5,10)
, as written, only generates 5 to 9, inclusive. You’d wanthi - lo + 1
to get the full range.

@AJNeufeld: Half-open ranges are the building blocks of C++ (as well as most other programming languages), and the sooner OP gets familiar with them, the better. See here and here for places I've used the phrase "half-open range" in previous reviews.

I apologize, I should have clarified what my code is doing and what my expectations were. My post is not a troll, I prefer not to waste peoples time if I do not have to. I will make edits to the question. The numbers on the materials, weapons, and spells simply represent the amount of damage.

Thank you for the insight and helpful post though. I will take a look at more constructors and destructors. I used the struct with the hopes that I would be able to create a large combination of different weapon types/spells, being that my class has only just begun using structs I am not too familiar with constructors/destructors.
