How do I print the age by calling the below methods only?

Member 13954890 asked:

Open original thread
I have a Person class (saved as Person.java) . The code is given below.
public class Person {

    private int age1;

    public int getAge() {
        return age1;
    }

    public void setAge(int age1) {
        this.age1 = age1;
    }
}

Then i have a Employee class which takes Person as data type. Code is given below.(saved as Employee.java)
public class Employee {

    Person person;
    private String employeeName;

    public Person getPerson() {
        return person;
    }

    public void setPerson(Person person) {
        this.person = person;
    }

    public String getEmployeeName() {
        return employeeName;
    }

    public void setEmployeeName(String employeeName) {
        this.employeeName = employeeName;
    }
}

Then I have main method in a separate class Main (Main.java). Code is given below.
public class MainEmployee {

    public static Employee getEmployeeDetails() {
        Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
        Employee e = new Employee();
        Person p = new Person();
        System.out.println("Enter name:");
        e.setEmployeeName(s.nextLine());
        System.out.println("Enter age1:");
        p.setAge(s.nextInt());
        return e;
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Employee e1 = getEmployeeDetails();
        System.out.println("name:" + e1.getEmployeeName());
        System.out.println("pname:" + e1.getPerson().getAge());//here it's showing error
    }
}


What I have tried:

Java
System.out.println("pname:"+e1.getPerson().getAge());
it's throwing NullPointException

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
