Syntax not understood

Question

What is the significant of * in this line please ?

CourseClass::CourseClass(Professor* professor){
}

It denotes that `professor` is a *pointer*, see http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/pointers/ — Ferdinand Beyer, May 10 '12 at 10:46
It probably should have been `CourseClass::CourseClass(Professor& professor)` because the professor is not optional. — MSalters, May 10 '12 at 11:47

It says the function argument is of pointer type.

void foo1(int bar) { }  // foo1 accepts an integer argument

void foo2(int *bar) { }  // foo2 accepts an integer pointer.
