Java 对象的 toString() 方法 -Java 学习笔记 (16)

 Java中所有对象都自Object类继承了toString()方法。
toString()方法返回当前对象的字符串表示
在用到对象的字符串表示时，系统会自动调用对象的toString()方法，如print()函数，字符串"+"运算等。

自定义类的toString()表示

public   class  ToStringTest  ... {
    public static void main (String[] args) ...{
        Person p1 = new Person("zhaohongliang");
        System.out.println(p1);
    }
}
class  Person  ... {
    private String name;
    public Person(String name) ...{
        this.name=name;
    }
}

运行System.out.println(p1);时
系统调用的是p1的toString()方法
运行结果：
Person@1fc4bec
这个结果看起来怪怪的，这是因为在默认情况下(不重载)，toString()的结果格式为
类名@对象的16进制Hash表示
Object类toString()方法的API Docs

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

 

Returns:

a string representation of the object.

所以，如果可能用到的话，应当重写这个方法

public   class  ToStringTest  ... {
    public static void main (String[] args) ...{
        Person p1 = new Person("zhaohongliang");
        System.out.println(p1);
    }
}
class  Person  ... {
    private String name;
    public Person(String name) ...{
        this.name=name;
    }
    public String toString() ...{
        return "My name is "+this.name+".";
    }
}

运行结果
My name is zhaohongliang.
