C++ Data Type Question:

For a project, I wrote code that takes a text file containing information on different football players and their combine results and stores those players as a vector of objects of the class. Finally, I wrote a function that calculates the average weight of the players.

For a subsequent project, it's asking that I use the data type I created in this project. What data type did I create? I'm a bit confused on the wording/terminology maybe....

Below is my code from the project

Combine.h:

#include #include #include #include #include #include using namespace std; class Combine { private: string name, college, pos; int height, weight; float dash, bench; public:  Combine() { name = "John Smith"; college = "University"; pos = "player"; height = 0; weight = 0; dash = 0; bench = 0; } Combine(string name, string college, string pos, int height, int weight, float dash, float bench) { this->name = name; this->college = college; this->pos = pos; setHeight(height); setWeight(weight); setDash(dash); setBench(bench); }   string getName() const { return name; } string getCollege() const { return college; } string getPos() const { return pos; } int getHeight() const { return height; } int getWeight() const { return weight; } float getDash() const { return dash; } float getBench() const { return bench; }   void setName(string name) { this->name = name; } void setCollege(string college) { this->college = college; } void setPos(string pos) { this->pos = pos; } void setHeight(int height) { if (height <= 0) { //Default value  this->height = 0; } else { this->height = height; } } void setWeight(int weight) { if (weight <= 0) {  this->weight = 0; } else { this->weight = weight; } } void setDash(float dash) { if (dash <= 0.0) {  this->dash = 0; } else { this->dash = dash; } } void setBench(float bench) { if (bench <= 0.0) { //Default value  this->bench = 0; } else { this->bench = bench; } }   friend ostream& operator<<(ostream &outs, const Combine &com) { outs << left << setw(25) << com.name; outs << left << setw(25) << com.college; outs << left << setw(25) << com.pos; outs << right << setw(5) << com.height; outs << setw(5) << com.weight; outs << setw(5) << com.dash; outs << setw(5) << com.bench; return outs; } };  void getPlayersFromFile(string filename, vector &players) { ifstream inFile;  inFile.open("../" + filename);   string name = "", college = "", pos = "", header = ""; string temp; int height = 0, weight = 0; float dash = 0, bench = 0; char comma = ',';   if (inFile) {  getline(inFile, header);  while (inFile && inFile.peek() != EOF) {  getline(inFile,temp);  stringstream ss(temp);  getline(ss,name,',');  getline(ss,college,',');  getline(ss,pos,',');  getline(ss,temp,','); height = atoi(temp.c_str());  getline(ss,temp,','); weight = atoi(temp.c_str()); if(ss.good()) {  getline(ss,temp,','); dash = atof(temp.c_str()); } else{ dash=0; } if(ss.good()) {  getline(ss,temp,','); bench = atof(temp.c_str()); } else{ bench=0; }  players.push_back(Combine(name, college, pos, height, weight, dash, bench)); } } else { cerr << "File not found" << endl; } inFile.close(); }  float avgWeight(vector &players) { float total = 0; getPlayersFromFile("CombinePlayers.txt", players); for (int i = 0; i < players.size(); ++i) { total += players[i].getWeight();  } cout << endl << "The average weight of a player is: " << (total/players.size()) << "lbs" << endl; }
