Class question for RPG Game

[midnight]

Hi everyone, I'm making a simple RPG game and am using classes for my weapons. Here is a sample of my code:

class Sword 
{
public:
string wName;
short wDMG;
};

Sword Falchion;
 Falchion.wName= "Falchion";
 Falchion.wDMG=12;

so that's gravy. When the player chooses their job class, it sets their base stats and their starting weapon.

My question is, how do I set the player's starting weapon to one of the sword objects?

Is player a class?
if so something like this should work: aPlayerObject.weapon = aSwordObject;

I don't have the player set as a class, though I could do that.
Assuming the above is included, is this how would the code look?

class Player 
{
public:
short pATK,pDEF;
string pWPN; // Not sure about this
};

//player chooses job class

Player.WPN=Sword.Falchion; //?? 

Thanks for your help, I've got a lot to learn lol

class Sword
{
    //...
};
class Player
{
    public:
         Sword WPN;
    //...
};

Sword Falchion;
Falchion.wName= "Falchion";//You may have a constructor
Falchion.wDMG=12;

Player player;//create an object of 'Player' class
player.WPN = Falchion;
