Get name and number in one line

[El zorro Gris]

Hey there,
I'm writing a program that takes 5 players names and scores and sorts them and outputs the top 3.
I just started writing this and already I'm stuck. How can I get someone's name(I'm going to limit them to first name only) and their score, both in one line and save each of those values for future sorting?
Please and thank you

Store them in a struct? And output is pretty easy.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

struct players
{
	std::string name;
	int score;
};

int main()
{
	// Create 5 players
	players plyr[ 5 ];

	plyr[ 0 ].name = "Dave";
	plyr[ 0 ].score = 187;

	// ... //

	std::cout << plyr[ 0 ].name << " " << plyr[ 0 ].score << '\n';       

	return 0;
}

Output:

Dave 187

Thanks man, I'll look more into this, but will it still work if I get the names and scores as input from the user?

Sure

	cout << "Enter name: "; cin >> plyr[ 0 ].name;
	cout << "Enter score: "; cin >> plyr[ 0 ].score;

Yeah, sorry about the input. I just used hardcoded data as an example. (:
