First issue: you are trying to define your DeleteEntry() method inside your EditEntry() method. Your compiler wont like that.
2) You're trying to use "entrynum" but you haven't told your compiler what that is. same with "temp" and "choice" too.
3) you've missed the closing brace at the end of your if at the bottom of your code.

You need to sort out your identation basically, then you would see which closing braces you may have missed.

edit:
person[i].fname == person[i + 1].fname;

and you don't want double equals for this. You want to assign a value to something else, therefore just use '='.
