First I want to say thanks everyone for helping me!

Lets say I have those two classes, Person and Address. How would one
implement the relationship between them? First, a Person can have one
or more addresses (or none), that could be represented as a list of
Addresses, right? But then, if I have an Address I want to see which
persons who live there, then I would have a list of Persons in each
Address.

Is this doubly-linked way of doing it a good way of doing it, or is
there
a better "OO way" I haven't learned yet?
