Chapter 10 Exercise 9, Introduction to Java Programming, Tenth Edition Y. Daniel LiangY.

10.9 (The Course class) Revise the Course class as follows:
■ The array size is fixed in Listing 10.6. Improve it to automatically increase the array
size by creating a new larger array and copying the contents of the current array to it.
■ Implement the dropStudent method.
■ Add a new method named clear() that removes all students from the course.
Write a test program that creates a course, adds three students,
removes one, and displays the students in the course.

    private String courseName;
