How to implement a class in another file

Stromming (1)
Hi guys,

I am pretty new with C++, I have some Java experience from a few years ago but most of it has left me and I am having to relearn everything and right now I am trying with classes from other files.

I understand the idea for classes but the actual implementation eludes me.
What I want to do is to take a function below, for example the warriorPicked function and put it in a class that i will call something appropriate and then call on that class or from a function in a class for that "character" type so like...

I have my main code, then when I need it, I call on the that function giving me that information, from a class in a different file.

My current code is as follows:

How would you create an object for your class first?
