/A Program to test my Person Class Program
import java.util.*;
public class Person
{
        // Tests the methods of the Person File
        public static void main(String [] args)
        {
                int [] i = new NewPerson[5];       
                Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);       
               
                for (int i = 0; i <= i.length ; i++)
                {
                       
                System.out.print("Please enter your Forename ");
                String FName = input.next();

                System.out.print("Please enter your Surname ");
                String LName = input.next();

                System.out.print("Please enter your Age ");
                int AAge = input.nextInt();

                System.out.print("Please enter your Height ");
                int AHeight = input.nextInt();
               
                PersonTest person1 = new PersonTest(FName, LName, AAge, AHeight);
                person1.format();
               
                System.out.println("The number of Persons entered are " + (i));
                }

your person class doesn't need a main. I'm assuming it's just an object with FName, LName, Age, and Height as parameters.

I see you've commented out
//Person person1 = new Person(FName, LName, AAge, AHeight);
which is the proper direction to take this.

Get rid of the main method inside your Person class and instead put a constructor that takes those 4 parameters. Then place a getter method for each of those parameters that way you can retrieve the data from that specific object.

hey call me judas there was an error with my post then i posted the wrong code.. lol could you tell me if u think im close to finishing my program?

Code:

---

public class PersonTest
{
        // Constructs a Person Test Class with the default value.
        public PersonTest()
        {
                        AHeight = 0;
                        AAge = 0;
                        Person = null;
                }//Constructs a Person with a given initial value
                public String Person(String NewPerson)
                {
                        Person = NewPerson;
                }
                               
                // Gets the First Name of the Person in the PersonTest
                public String getFName()
                {
                        return Fname;
                }
                       
                        // Gets the Last Name of the Person in the PersonTest
                public String getLName()
                {
                        return Sname;
                }
                       
                // Gets the Height of the Person in the PersonTest
                public double getHeight()
                {
                        return AHeight;
                }
                       
                // Gets the Age of the Person in the PersonTest
                public double getAge ()
                {
                        return AAge;
                }
                       
                        private String Person;
                        private String Fname;
                        private String Sname;
                        private double AAge;
                        private double AHeight;
               
}
