Need suggestions on approaching

[lovepython]

Can ya'll give some suggested solutions for the implementation of this question. Would deeply appreciate it.

Create a Person class that contains Firstname, Lastname, DOB, address, telephone # and a virtual show function.

Create a Student class that inherits from the Person class and adds StudentId, feespaid and Courses (array object of Course class). A student can register for a maximum of 6 courses and a minimum of 3. The show function calls calculatetotalfees that calculates and outputs the total fees for the student. It should also output the total fees paid and the amount due. Overload the plus operator within the student class such that it increases the fees paid variable by an amount specified in the parameter.

Create a class named Course that contains Coursename, Coursecode, Number of Credits and Cost per Credit which is a static variable.

Create a function called calculatetotalfees that calculates the fees for a student by adding the cost of each course that a student takes. The cost of each course can be found by multiplying the number of credits of each course by the cost per credit.

Create a main that creates 10 student objects as well as 15 course objects. The software should use a loop to call the show function of each student object.

why not start out by writing your classes and worry about what comes in main() later
im still learning c++ so this might be wrong

//example Person class
#include <string>

Class person{
Public:
    Virtual show();
    String Firstname;
    String Lastname;
Private:
    Int DOB;
    String Address;
    Int tel;
 
};

Code is incomplete but its where am at so far and trying to figure out loads a stuff.

[lovepython]

Am here now trying to figure out how i can access the Course objects in main from the setCourses function in the Student class...sigh

I found nothing on the interwebs on using class functions from other cpp files. Does extern work?

#ifndef STUDENT_H
#define	STUDENT_H

#include "person.h"

using namespace std;

extern class Student: public Person {

    virtual ~Student();
    void show();
    void Register();
    void setBio(string, string, string, string, int);
    void setCourses(int);
    float CalculateTotalFees();
        
private:
    string StudentID; 
    float FeesPaid, FeesBalance,Inc;
    Course Courses[];
};

#endif	/* STUDENT_H */

I get this error: "a storage class can only be specified for objects and functions student.h /course_proj line 23 C/C++ Problem"
