do I have to write (for creating object)
Address addressObject  = new Address(); ( coding method that returns a string for address object) ---> I really dont understand this part.

Answer 1

looks almost right. The problem is that your method name AddressBookEntry does not match the name of your class AddressBook and therefore is not a constructor.
Furthermore, you probably need to make a distinction between a single entry into the address book which consists of a single name and a single address, (which is just what you have done) and an address book itself which is probably a list of AddressBookEntries
So for your code I would change the class that you called "AddressBook" to "AddressBookEntry" and have a third class that represents the collection of AddressBookEntries.
Now to be honest, I don't know why you keep the name split apart from the street address portion of the address. I would be more inclined to keep the name as a field of the address itself, but it's your code, you carve it up the way you like.
