Inheritance

[NewToJava_99]

I am working on an assignment and cannot figure out why i am getting errors when trying to inheret from a superclass. I have the following structure

Person - which is the super class
ClassPerson - which inherits from the Person class
Instructor - which inherits from the ClassPerson class

I can compile the Person and ClassPerson classes, however when i attempt to compile the instructor class i get the following error:

"Cannot find symbol - constructor ClassPerson (java.lang.String, java.lang.String)"

My code is as follows:

public class Person
{

private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private double heightInCentimeters;
private int weightInKg;


/**
* Constructor for objects of class Person
*/
public Person(String firstName, String lastName, double heightInCentimeters, int weightInKg)
{

this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.heightInCentimeters = heightInCentimeters;
this.weightInKg = weightInKg;
}


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public class ClassPerson extends Person
{

private String studentNumber;
private String emailAddress;

/**
* Constructor for objects of class ClassPerson
*/
public ClassPerson(String firstName, String lastName, double heightInCentimeters, int weightInKg,
String studentNumber, String emailAddress)
{
super (firstName,lastName,heightInCentimeters,weightInKg );
this.studentNumber = studentNumber;
this.emailAddress = emailAddress;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public class Instructor extends ClassPerson
{
private int hourlyWage;


/**
* Constructor for objects of class Instructor
*/
public Instructor(String studentNumber, String emailAddress, int hourlyWage)

{

super(studentNumber,emailAddress);
this.hourlyWage = hourlyWage;
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone know what could be causing this.

Thanks

"Cannot find symbol - constructor ClassPerson (java.lang.String, java.lang.String)"

Where is the constructor defined that takes two Strings for that class?

Please post the full text of the error message that shows where the error occurs.
