Java Lec-36 Object Class.2f1b096

The object class is the parent class of all classes in Java. It is the topmost class and all other classes directly or indirectly inherit from it. The object class contains common methods like clone(), equals(), finalize(), getClass(), and toString(). The toString() method returns a string representation of an object and can be overridden to print the data of custom objects as demonstrated in the sample program.

Program to demonstrate How to override toString() method to print object


data.
import java.util.*;

class Employee
{
int emp_no;
String name;
double salary;

Employee(int a, String b, double c)


{
emp_no=a;
name=b;
salary=c;
}
public String toString()
{
String str = "Emp["+emp_no+","+name+","+salary+"]";
return (str);
}
public static void main(String [] args)
{
Employee e1 = new Employee(10,"Atul",50000.0);
Employee e2 = new Employee(20,"Vinay",60000.0);
System.out.println(e1);
System.out.println(e2);
