始终要覆盖toString

实例代码

Object.java中

 public String toString() {
	return getClass().getName() + "@" + Integer.toHexString(hashCode());
    }

PhoneNumber.java如下

// Adding a toString method to PhoneNumber - page 52

import java.util.*;

public final class PhoneNumber {
    private final short areaCode;
    private final short prefix;
    private final short lineNumber;

    public PhoneNumber(int areaCode, int prefix,
                       int lineNumber) {
        rangeCheck(areaCode,    999, "area code");
        rangeCheck(prefix,      999, "prefix");
        rangeCheck(lineNumber, 9999, "line number");
        this.areaCode  = (short) areaCode;
        this.prefix  = (short) prefix;
        this.lineNumber = (short) lineNumber;
    }

    private static void rangeCheck(int arg, int max,
                                   String name) {
        if (arg < 0 || arg > max)
           throw new IllegalArgumentException(name +": " + arg);
    }

    @Override public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (o == this)
            return true;
        if (!(o instanceof PhoneNumber))
            return false;
        PhoneNumber pn = (PhoneNumber)o;
        return pn.lineNumber == lineNumber
            && pn.prefix  == prefix
            && pn.areaCode  == areaCode;
    }

    @Override public int hashCode() {
        int result = 17;
        result = 31 * result + areaCode;
        result = 31 * result + prefix;
        result = 31 * result + lineNumber;
        return result;
    }

    /**
     * Returns the string representation of this phone number.
     * The string consists of fourteen characters whose format
     * is "(XXX) YYY-ZZZZ", where XXX is the area code, YYY is
     * the prefix, and ZZZZ is the line number.  (Each of the
     * capital letters represents a single decimal digit.)
     *
     * If any of the three parts of this phone number is too small
     * to fill up its field, the field is padded with leading zeros.
     * For example, if the value of the line number is 123, the last
     * four characters of the string representation will be "0123".
     *
     * Note that there is a single space separating the closing
     * parenthesis after the area code from the first digit of the
     * prefix.
     */
    @Override public String toString() {
        return String.format("(%03d) %03d-%04d",
                             areaCode, prefix, lineNumber);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Map<PhoneNumber, String> m
            = new HashMap<PhoneNumber, String>();
        m.put(new PhoneNumber(707, 867, 5309), "Jenny");
        System.out.println(m);
    }
}

建议所有的子类都覆盖toString方法

重写覆盖后console：

Connected to the target VM, address: '127.0.0.1:53200', transport: 'socket'
{(707) 867-5309=Jenny}
Disconnected from the target VM, address: '127.0.0.1:53200', transport: 'socket'

Process finished with exit code 0

未重写覆盖时console：

{toString@12960c=Jenny}

Process finished with exit code 0

是啊，后台打印日志多时，你更喜欢看到哪一种？
