I need to help writing a constructor that uses an array of pointers to a class.

Question

Please take a look at the following code:
class Course{
public:
// Default Constructor.
Course(char *CourseName = "", char *instructor = "", char *semesterYr = "");
protected:
char *CourseName;
char *instructor;
char *semesterYr;
****The Course class provides information about a particualr course****
class Student : public Course{
public:
// Constructor.
Student(char *StudentName = "", char *SS = "", char CourseGrade = ' ',
char *CourseName = "", char *instructorName = "", char *SemesterYr
= "");
protected:
char *StudentName;
char *SS;
char CourseGrade;
static i
nt NumStudentObj;
***The Student class provides information about a particular student***
AND FINALLY THE CLASS IN QUESTION!!!!!!!
class CStats : public Course{
public:
// Constructor,
CStats(Student *StudentArray[]);
private:
int NumberOfStudents;
char CourseGradeAverage;
I need to pass an array of pointers to a Student class to the CStat constructor.
Since the Student class has inhertied data members of Course class, passing
a pointer to a Student object will be more sufficient. This constructor should
also print out the information contained in the Course & Student data members.
My instructor stated that I can use array or pointer notation.
How would I setup this function so that it outputs information stored in
the data members ?
**NOTE**
Information like the StudentName , SS#, and CourseGrade will be entered from
my main() source file.
Thanks in advance,
