[NonSleep]

Hi everyone .. i'm new with Java, so i need a little help from you guys

I wrote a program that uses an array and Scanner to enter the data of 5 students by using for loop
i didn't have any errors but the output is something like "Student@1d58aae" i think i have problem with adding objects into my array .. i tried ArrayList but i had the same out put

here is my code, using array (i have another one using ArrayList)

import java.util.*;
public class StudentArray2 {
        
    
    public StudentArray2() {
    }
    
   
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO code application logic here
        
       Scanner k1=new Scanner(System.in);
        
       
        
     Student[] a1=new Student[5];
     
     
     String x;
     String y;
     double z;
        
        for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
        {
        	 System.out.println("Enter the name: ");
           x=k1.next();
        
        System.out.println("Enter the ID : ");
        y=k1.next();
        
        System.out.println("Enter the GPA: ");
       z=k1.nextDouble();
        
        Student s1=new Student(x,y,z);
        

        a1[i]=new Student(x,y,z);
       
        }
        
     
        
        for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
        System.out.println("the Name is " + a1[i] );
        
        
    }
}

You need to override Student.toString() to get meaningful output

[NonSleep]

so i have to change the output to String??

In your Student class create a toString() method and define how you want your data to be displayed. By this you will be overriding the normal toString() from an object class which returns that output.

great!! thanks a lot .. it's work now, and thank you for the link of toString() post
