Can't figure out how to create this constructor

[Svenge]

So my goal is to create a class called scoreRecord that will track scores for students received in their course. I have defined the class as following:
[code]
class scoreRecord{
private:
string courseName;
int scoreAmt; //total number of scores to be added to dynamic array
int * scores; //points to scores to be stored inside of dynamic array
public:
scoreRecord(string courseName, int scoreAmt);
};
// This is where I am having issues is making the constructor
// With a dynamic array pointed to by scores.

scoreRecord::scoreRecord(string cName, int sAmt){
courseName = cName;
scoreAmt = sAmt;
new arrY[scoreAmt];
}
[code/]

Below is one way you could do it however acquiring resources through the ctor is a detailed exercise that requires deleting the resources before the objects go out of scope and applying the rule of three/five (google if required). So I've also shown an alternative way of doing it using std::vector<int>:

class scoreRecord
{
    private:
        std::string m_courseName;
        size_t m_scoreAmt; //total number of scores to be added to dynamic array
        int * m_scores; //points to scores to be stored inside of dynamic array
        //std::vector<int> m_scores;
    public:
        scoreRecord(const std::string& courseName, const int scoreAmt)
            : m_courseName(courseName), m_scoreAmt(scoreAmt)
        {
            m_scores = new int[m_scoreAmt];
            for (size_t i = 0; i < m_scoreAmt; ++i)
            {
                std::cout << "Enter score " << i + 1 << " of " << m_scoreAmt;
                std::cin >> m_scores[i];
            }
          /*  for (size_t i = 0; i < m_scoreAmt; ++i)
            {
                std::cout << "Enter score " << i + 1 << " of " << m_scoreAmt;
                int temp{};
                std::cin >> temp;
                m_scores.push_back(temp);
            }*/
        }
};

Edit:
(a) though the standard allows it, it is confusing to use the same variable name for ctor arguments and class data-members, so I've added a 'm_' for the members;
(b) if you are familiar with smart pointers like std::unique_ptr you could use that instead of the C-style pointer and the smart pointer usually cleans up after itself so to speak and so memory management is more straightforward

This program is killing me never struggled with any assignments in this course before, ever. I came up with about the same as you posted, I just formatted different. (minus the better variables, that is a good pointer thank you for that) So basically, I'm trying to create overloaded extraction, and insertion operators to perform the tasks of prompting for scores, and displaying them. I have been searching online for examples of this to no avail. The main driver I have created is:
[code]int main()
{
scoreRecord sr1("Algebra", 4);
scoreRecord sr2("Environmental Science", -1); //The constructor should change -1 to 2
scoreRecord sr3("TBA", 2);

cout << "\nGetting Student 1 Scores...\n";
cin >> sr1;

cout << "\nGetting Student 2 Scores...\n";
cin >> sr2;

cout << "\nDisplaying Student 1 Scores...\n";
cout << sr1;

cout << "\nDisplaying Student 2 Scores...\n";
cout << sr2;

cout << "\nAssigning Student 1 data to Student 3...\n";
sr3 = sr1; // Trying to create an overloaded = operator that will assign one scoreRecord
//equal to the other. (direct copy)

cin.ignore(100, '\n');
cin.get();

return 0;
}[code/]

I want to change the m_scoreAmt to 2 if the input size is less than that.
I am doing an include of the scoreRecord.h class as a header.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

class scoreRecord
{
    private:
        std::string m_courseName;
        int m_scoreAmt; //total number of scores to be added to std::vector<int>
        std::vector<int> m_scores;
    public:
        scoreRecord(const std::string& courseName, const int scoreAmt)
            : m_courseName(courseName)
            {
                m_scoreAmt = std::max(2, scoreAmt);
                for (size_t i = 0; i < m_scoreAmt; ++i)
            {
                std::cout << "Enter score " << i + 1 << " of " << m_scoreAmt << " for " << m_courseName << ": ";
                int temp{};
                std::cin >> temp;
                m_scores.push_back(temp);
            }
        }
        friend std::ostream& operator << (std::ostream& os, const scoreRecord& s);

};
std::ostream& operator << (std::ostream& os, const scoreRecord& s)
{
    os << s.m_courseName << " has " << s.m_scoreAmt << " scores, which are: \n";
    for (const auto& elem : s.m_scores)os << elem << " "; os << "\n";
    return os;
}

int main()
{
    scoreRecord sr1{"Algebra", 4};
    scoreRecord sr2{"Environmental Science", -1};

    std::cout << sr1 << "\n" << sr2;

}

I see how you can construct the overloaded operators now, thank you so much. I couldn't figure out the initial syntax, but I should be able to create the other overloaded operators using the concepts of how you constructed yours. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.

[Svenge]

So I am trying to do what you did inside of the constructor inside of an >> operator overload. I want to be able to read in the class objects, but I can't figure out how to do this. I keep getting out of scope errors. I rewrote the << operator overload to:
[code]ostream& operator << (ostream& os, const scoreRecord& s)
{
os << s.m_courseName << " has " << s.m_scoreAmt << " scores, which are: \n";
for (size_t i = 0; i < s.m_scoreAmt; i++){
cout << s.m_scores[i] << "\n";
}
return os;
}[code/] How you did it didn't work for my version of c++. But do you have any idea how you can display, and read in the information the way you did in the constructor inside of a >> overload. All I get are out of scope errors, I am also trying to set up a limit on the scores of 0-100, so I guess being inside of the if statements is making it go out of scope?

This is what I have made so far, but I get a error can't figure out how to read in & pass score values
[code]ostream& operator >> (ostream& in, const scoreRecord& s)
{
for(size_t i=0; i< s.m_scoreAmt; ++i)
{
cout << "Enter score " << i+1 << " of " << s.m_scoreAmt << " for " << s.m_courseName << ": ";
int temp{};
in >> temp;
s.m_scores.push_back(temp);
}
