Output of System.out.println(object)
- by Shaarad Dalvi
I want to know what exactly the output tells when I do the following :
class data {
int a=5;
}
class main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
data dObj=new data();
System.out.println(dObj);
}
}
I know it gives something related to object as the output in my case is data@1ae73783.
I guess the '1ae73783' is a hex number. I also did some work around and printed
System.out.println(dObj.hashCode());
I got number 415360643.
I got an integer value. I don't know what hashCode() returns, still out of curiosity, when I converted 1ae73783 to decimal, I got 415360643! That's why I am curious that what exactly is this number?? Is this some memory location of Java's sandbox or some other thing?
Any light on this matter will be helpful..thanks! :)
