So I am just testing stuff out, and lets say I want to set a string to something, for example:

public class Party {
	String Name;
	String Event;
	public void DisplayInfo( ) {
		System.out.println("Happy" + Event + Name + "!");
	}
	
	public void setInfo(String PName, String vent) {
		PName = Name;
		vent = Event;
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Party celebrate = new Party();
		celebrate.setInfo("Officer Barbrady","Birthday");
		celebrate.DisplayInfo( );
	}

}

Lets make it display Happy Birthday Officer Barbrady!

But that won't work the output is: Happynullnull!

What am I doing wrong?

You have it reversed. It should be Name = PName, not PName = Name.

Ahh TY

If you want to save yourself having to create a new object, you can just add static modifiers to both variables and methods involved in the static reference. Just a little bit of useful java info :)

public class Party {
	
	static String Name;
	static String Event;

	public static void DisplayInfo() {
		System.out.println("Happy" + Event + Name + "!");
	}

	public static void setInfo(String PName, String vent) {
		Name = PName;
		Event = vent;
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		setInfo("Officer Barbrady", "Birthday");
		DisplayInfo();
	}
}
