C++ OOP Example

[bfr]

I'm the only one who ever goes here, so I guess I'm posting to myself.

Here is some C++ code that demonstrates the use of OOP:


//OOP Example - Joeman345 of VDesign
//Note that this includs a bunch of uneeded but fun stuff
//I used strings in some cases to avoid errors easily

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;
int dosomething;
string namep;
string hobbyp;
string agep;

class Person{
   public:
       string pname;
       string phobby;
       string page;
       void greet(){
               cout << "Hello, my name is " << pname << "." << endl;
               cout << "\n I am " << page << " years old." << endl;
       }
};

int main(){
while(dosomething != 3){
   cout << "Input the data to create your new person \n" << endl;
   cout << "Name" << endl;
   cin >> namep;
   cout << "Age" << endl;
   cin >> agep;
   cout << "Hobby" << endl;
   cin >> hobbyp;
   Person myPerson;
   myPerson.pname = namep;
   myPerson.phobby = hobbyp;
   myPerson.page = agep;
   
   cout << "\n Input 1 to have the person greet you." << endl;
   cout << "\n Input 2 to display your person's data." << endl;
   cout << "\n Input 3 to stop the program." << endl;
   cin >> dosomething;
   
   switch(dosomething){
   case 1:
   myPerson.greet();
   break;
   
   case 2:
   cout << "\n Name: " << myPerson.pname << endl;
   cout << "\n Age: " << myPerson.page << endl;
   cout << "\n Hobby: " << myPerson.phobby << endl;
   break;
   
   case 3:
   system("PAUSE");
   return 0;
   break;
   
   default:
   cout << "You didn't enter a valid value!" << endl;            
}
   system("PAUSE");
}
}


If you look at it carefully, I think it really could help somebody learn the basics of OOP and classes. I'd be happy to explain it to anybody.

Also, if you input text that isn't a number for when it says, "Input 1 to...", then the program repeats "You didn't enter a valid value" forever . If you enter a number that isn't 1,2 or 3, then it just says that you didn't enter a valid value once.

NEVER link to .exe files!
It's not safe, and chances are that people won't trust it.
The best thing to do is put it in a zip file.

Oops, (OOP he he) well here's the zip:
