vectorname.get(vectorelement).toString() error

[daiyen]

Hello everyone!

I couldn't find any other topics like this, so I hope I won't start a redundant discusson.

My problem is the following:

I want to get an element of my vector but it turns out that toString() method doesn't work properly for me.

My code looks like this:

for(int i=0; i<f_versenyzok.size() ; i++)
System.out.println(f_versenyzok.get(i).toString());
 

and I get the following output:

Magasugro@c17164
Magasugro@1fb8ee3
 

I can't figure out why, because it is supposed work properly.
I also imported java.util.*, maybe..but it just didn't seem to work.

Thanks for your help!

Given that output I can see that your Vector stores Magasugro objects (or derived
classes thereof). That class doesn't override the toString() method so the default
implementation (in the Object class) is used.

I see mate. So in order to see any correct results I should override toString() method. Imho I'll rather do it a different way then.

You're welcome but don't do it another way: if an object wants to display itself
properly it should take care of that itself. The toString() method is ideal for those
purposes. Any other way would be a hack.
