/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));
		}

			
	}
}

//A Program to test my Person Class Program
import java.util.*;
public class PersonTest
{
	// Tests the methods of the Person File
	public static void main(String [] args)
	{
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);	
		
		//Creates an Array that counts the number of Persons in the Program
		int [] countPerson = new int [5];	
		
		
		for (int i = 0; i < countPerson.length ; i++)
		{
			//System.out.print(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();
		}
		//Person person1 = new Person(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?

 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;
		
}
