Beginning to learn Object creation

kidd2100 (13)
I completely understand that the project that proceeds this is elementary, yet I am failing to understand how to proceed. I want to improve my code so that when the program asks for the humans name, it can differiate between human 1 and human 2. So instead of asking what is the humans weight. It will ask what is sallys weight , if that was what I named it during the humansName function.

ok since posting Ive figured I would try to solve my problem and Ive come up with the following. My only question is , is there a way for me to change the question on "What is your humans name?" to a way to recognize it is now asking for the second humans name?

Well I figured out a way to do it. It works for the program. just not sure if there was a alternative solution to my problem. I included a if statement to complete what I wanted it to do.
