How to print an object from an object array in java?

Question

This is an example of my object array.

Ball[] Array= {BallGrid[4], BallGrid[5]};

This is how I tried printing it out but the output was finalproject.Ball@1dcc2a3.

for(Ball value : Array){

    System.out.println(value);

}

How would I print out Array[0] so the value remains "BallGrid[4]"?

Answer 1

You have to override the toString() method in the class Ball :

@Override
public String toString() {
    ...
    return someStringHere;
}

where you return the String that you want to use to represent the ball.

Note: Assuming BallGrid is an array (because of BallGrid[4] ), you should call it ballGrid following Java naming conventions. And as @mikeyaworski commented, Array should be called array .

Answer 2

try this

    for (int i = 0; i < array.size() ;i++) {
        System.out.println(value.getClass().getSimpleName() + "[" + i + "]");
    }
