Using array from private access specifier - c++

Question

Here I have an array within the private section of my class which is unable to retain the values set in different members of the clas; during the fight sequence both of the values in the array equate to 0.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include<math.h>
#include<cstdlib>
using namespace std;
class champions {
private:
int health_array[2] = { };
int attack_array[2] = { };
public:
void health_attack_set() {
int health_set{};
int attack_set{};
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
health_array[i] = health_set;
attack_array[i] = attack_set;
}
}
void fight_sequence(int random_champion, int random_opponent) {
cout << "FIGHT\n\n";
while (health_array[random_champion] > 0 or health_array[random_opponent] > 0) {
(health_array[random_opponent] -= attack_array[random_champion]);
if (health_array[random_opponent] <= 0) {
break;
}
(health_array[random_champion] -= attack_array[random_opponent]);
}
if (health_array[random_champion] > 0) {
cout << "CHAMPION 1 WINS!!!";
}
if (health_array[random_opponent] > 0) {
cout << "CHAMPION 2 WINS!!!";
}
if (health_array[random_champion] == 0 && health_array[random_opponent] == 0) {
cout << "NO ONE WINS!!";
}
}
void champion_1() {
health_attack_set();
health_array[0] = 400;
attack_array[0] = 150;
}
void champion_2() {
health_attack_set();
health_array[1] = 500;
attack_array[1] = 100;
}
};
int main() {
champions fight;
fight.fight_sequence(0, 1);
return 0;
}
I believe it may be a simple mistake but hard to spot; thank you for any help that is given.

Answer 1

I think your problems are coming from not understanding how to structure your code in the presence of classes and multiple objects. I have restructured your code below in a cleaner and more common way (it is not the only way to do it, but it is more typical). Hopefully there are not typos.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include<math.h>
#include<cstdlib>
using namespace std;
class Champion{
public:
int health;
int attack;
Champion(int health_, int attack_) : health(health_), attack(attack_) {
}
};
void fight_sequence(Champion& champion, Champion& opponent) {
cout << "FIGHT\n\n";
while (champion.health > 0 || opponent.health > 0) {
(opponent.health -= champion.attack);
if (opponent.health <= 0) {
break;
}
(champion.health -= opponent.attack);
}
if (champion.health > 0) {
cout << "CHAMPION 1 WINS!!!";
}
if (opponent.health > 0) {
cout << "CHAMPION 2 WINS!!!";
}
if (champion.health == 0 && opponent.health == 0) {
cout << "NO ONE WINS!!";
}
}
int main() {
Champion champion_1(400, 150);
Champion champion_2(500, 100);
fight_sequence(champion_1, champion_2);
return 0;
}
