4. Create a Collection of Person objects in main.
5. Prompt the user for the input file name, create a Scanner for the file, and call the build method to read Person objects into the Collection.
6. Add a loop to main to do the following:
   1. Prompt the user and read the first and last name.

   Ask the user when they want to exit from the loop.
