Hi, Sorry if i confuse u even more as im still new to java, as far as i know this is the correct way to do this: first, You have to create a constructor for all of the "guess" variable in order to initalize them. and only after that u can use the getters like u did here Why is that?

Answer: right now u just declaring the variables, they do not contain anything, u need to declare the variables in order to store the parameters the users are entering from the constructor. u do it like that:

public Identification (String guestName, String guestAddress, int guestDateOfBirt, int guestIdentificationNumber){
  this.guestName = guestName
  this.guestAddress= guestAddress;
  this.guestDateOfBirth = guestDateOfBirth;
  this. guestIdentificationNumber = guestDateOfBirth;
}

after that u just create a new instance of the class as u did, u named it guess. and then u use System.out.readLine method and declare the type of the variable which is string

 String name = console.readLine("Enter your name");
 System.out.printf( "your name is %s"guest.getGuestName());

if this answer helped u please mark as best answer :D
