    Save/read your object to/from files. Overload insertion (<<) and extraction (>>) operators for your object to make things easy.

    Yes, use an fstream object

    Eg
    Saving would be
    fout << name << age;

    Loading would be
    fin >> name >> age;
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
