 |
hi everyone
System.out.println(currentPlayer);
it returns to me like this:Player@7cbde6
i know it was caused by toString() and it is suggested to ues overriding method
but i don't know how to do it, so can somebody teach me how to use overiding method so System.out.println(currentPlayer); will display what i want
thank you very very much

What's the signature of toString?
All you need to do is provide a method with that exact signature in your own class.
By reading the API docs for java.lang.Object you can find out the signature of toString.

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
hellow,
all u hv to do is that override toString() method as one friend also told it, its signature is
public String toString(){
String str;
str = "any thing you want do it here, and place this method in ur class";
return str;
}

Hi khoomy thanks
I have actually done something like this which works ok but what happen if i get mutiple String want to display each individually
for example:
System.out.println(toString()); //which display player's name
System.out.println(somthing else);

Where do you get mutiple Strings ? Not clear with your example.
