Arrays in classes!

Hey all, I need help with a small problem... I have to declare a class called Module. And in the main function I have to declare an array of type Module. Then I have to ask the user to type in the 5 modules they are registered for and the marks for assignment 1 and assignment 2 for each module... I don't know how to "save" the input from the user into the array and then the class? After that I have to determine the semester mark, but that is not difficult, I just need help with the input. This is what I have so far:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class Module
{
public:
    void setMods(string moduleX, int ass1, int ass2);
    string get_module();
    int get_ass1marks();
    int get_ass2marks();
private:
    string module;
    int ass1marks;
    int ass2marks;
};

int main()
{
    Module mods_ass[5];
    string moduleName;
    int assOne, assTwo;

    for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
    {
        cout << "Enter the name of module " << i << ": ";
        cin >> //here I had mods_ass[i].module the the error says:
               //error: 'std::string Module::module' is private
               //error: within this context
        cout << "Enter the marks for Assignment 1" << ": ";
        cin >> //the same goes here
        cout << "Enter the marks for Assignment 2" << ": ";
        cin >> //the same goes here
    }

    return 0;
}

void Module::setMods(string moduleX, int ass1, int ass2)
{
    module = moduleX;
    ass1marks = ass1;
    ass2marks = ass2;
}

string Module::get_module()
{
    return module;
}

int Module::get_ass1marks()
{
    return ass1marks;
}

int Module::get_ass2marks()
{
    return ass2marks;
}

I tried different variables, but nothing works!

You will need to get the information into different variables then use your setMods() function to fill in the values in your class.

OK let me go and try that!

I beleive your array needs to be declared in the private section of your class...correct me if im wrong im learning still :)

@Michael Kane
I thought so 2! But my question says "Write a main program that does the following: (1)declare an array..." etc :)
