   You can use the string handling functions in the string
library. In this case, I would use memmove() to ensure that the
supplied variable does not overrun my allotted char array.
You should also be careful how you use caps, as in Class,
Public, and Private, all of which will produce errors. :)
There is probably a nice iostream method of copying a limited
char array to another char buffer, but I am not that well
versed in the stream classes as of yet. :)
You may also overload the = operator for your assignments in a
class, but the code would remain basically the same and only
the assignment operation calling the code would differ.

{
   public:
     int  GetHits() const { return Hits; }
     void SetHits(int h) { Hits = h; }
     const char *GetName() const { return Name; }
     void SetName(const char *N)
     { memmove(Name, N, 32); Name[32] = '\0'; }
   // This ensures that the entire string, up to 32 chars is
   // copied over, and that there is a zero terminator.
   // as an alternative, using sprintf() in stdio.lib
   // void SetName(const char *N) { sprintf(Name, "%.32s", N); }
   // strcpy() may be used, but provides no out of bounds
   // protection for your char array.
   private:
      int Hits;                 // characters Hit Points
      char Name[33];            // characters Name
};
int main(void)
{
   PlayerInfo Player;
   Player.SetHits(40);
   Player.SetName("Player One");
   cout
      << "Player Name: " << Player.GetName() << "\n"
      << "Hit Points : " << Player.GetHits() << endl;
   return 0;
