Question

I have three classes

public abstract class Champion 
{
    private String name;

    public Champion(String ChName)
    {
        name = ChName;

    }
    public void setName(String ChName)
    {
        name = ChName;
    }
    public String getName()
    {
        return name;
    }

}

second:

public class Mage extends Champion {

    public Mage(String ChName)
    {
        super(ChName);
    }

    public String toString()
    {
        return String.format("%s",super.toString());
    }
}

and my main:

public class JavaApplication2 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
      Mage mage = new Mage("ori");
      System.out.println("champion is "+mage);          
    }

}

The output should be “champion is ori”
but I get:
“champion is javaapplication2.Mage@1fee6fc”

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You need to override toString() in Champion as the call to super.toString() in Mage.toString() will be calling Object.toString().
