How do I instantiate an object within an object?

RicksteR (8)
Heyy what im trying to do in this program is create a new instance of another class within a class. Im having trouble doing so, iv already tried defining the 'Weapon' class within the 'Enemy' class through its constructor, didnt quite work though... I could play around with it for hours on end until i figure it out, i'd rather not though. Iv provided my code below. Can anyone help? would be appreciated, thanks.

Just put the object in your class like you do with any other member var, and put its ctor arguments in the initializer list of your constructor.

class Enemy
{
 // ...
  Weapon m_EnemyWeapon;
};

// -- the ctor
Enemy::Enemy(int health,int attack /*...*/)
  : m_EnemyWeapon("Longsword", "Iron", 2, 5, 50)   // initializer list
{
  // ctor body
}
