Need only a little help completing this program.

Question: Create Student class as an abstract class in C++. Inherit GraduateStudent and PostGraduateStudent and ResearchStudent classes from Student class. Define proper constructors, destructors and functions related to attendance and examination result. Make necessary assumptions wherever required.

I am not the same guy who posted this http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/cpp/threads/464146/cpp-program , I just reached here following the link from google.

This is not out of lazinees but because I am unable to assume the requirements of this program. Here is a little part that I have already completed, I just need simple assumptions that you guys can provide which will help me complete it. Its urgent. Thank you in advance.

#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>

using namespace std;

class Student {
    public:
    Student();
    ~Student();
    virtual void attendence();
    virtual void examination();
};

class GraduateStudent:public Student {
    GraduateStudent() {
    }

    ~GraduateStudent() {
    }
};

class PostGraduateStudent:public Student {
    PostGraduateStudent() {
    }

    ~PostGraduateStudent() {
    }
};

class ResearchStudent:public Student {
    ResearchStudent() {
    };

    ~ResearchStudent() {
    }
};

int main() {
    return 0;
}

So what do you need? Can you assume what a college student is and what you need to have for members and functions?

Can you assume what a college student is and what you need to have for members and functions?

Yes I can but my thinking only takes me to higher level where I can use file handling and make funtions that can store and retrive students data into seprate files and stuff like that.

I am looking for simple things, maybe something I am currently not able to figure out which could be done with just 2-3 functions and more simpler as compared to my current thoughts

class student

class student
{
protected:
char name[30];
int attendence;
float gpa;
public:
stuent(){}
student(char n[],int a, flat g):attendence(a), gpa(g){strcpy(name, n);}
~student(){}
virtual get_attendence()
{
cout<<"Enter his atendence (out of 50) : ";
cin>>attendence;
}
virtual get_result()
{
cout<<"Enter your Gpa (out of 4.00) : ";
cin>>gpa;
}
};

this is the base class for student now drive classes with extra data.
i,e.
for graduate char degree[20];
for postgraduate char university[];
for reasearch int publications;

Thanks. Its a job done.
