Answer 1

You create an instance of Person and call the constructor which takes two parameters and assign them to firstname and lastname.

Person obj = new Person(name[0], name[1]);

You can then retrieve and manipulate the instance via your getters and setters, e.g.

System.out.print(obj.getName());

Answer 2

You can't use a constant, variable, object, etc as an identifier. An identifier must be unique and only represent that one particular class, variable, method (with the exception of overloading), etc within its available scope, so as not to create a possible ambiguity or naming collision. Do as @Hatsy suggests and identify the object you're working with by getting its name property.

Answer 3

You can't do that. You cant really mix the coding interface with the actual code in that way. @Hatsy's answer is what you need to do.
