Solution

public class Person {

    private String firstName;
    private String lasName;

    public Person(String firstName, String lasName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
        this.lasName = lasName;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLasName() {
        return lasName;
    }

    public void setLasName(String lasName) {
        this.lasName = lasName;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Name:" + firstName + " " + lasName;
    }
}

public class PersonTester {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Person bob = new Person("Bob", "Phillips");
        Person mike = new Person("Mike", "Lipson");

        System.out.println(bob);
        System.out.println(mike);
    }
}
