Subnet Calculator

I wanted to test my knowledge - and create a useful tool for me and others in IT, so I developed over the past 3 days this subnet calculator, it works good. If you find anything bugs with what the program outputs let me know. I'm not interested in criticism about my syntax or use of the language, I know now that every project over 100 lines needs a planning phase (which I will do from now on). This looks good when it runs at least! Give a compile and test

Sorry for the extremely uneasy to read and unnecessarily complex code - I'm only 2 1/2 weeks into learning C++. Thanks!
