    Default need help with simple code pls T_T

    Can anybody please help explain why the output is not giving the proper result? Is this a semantic error?

     
    public class Programming1Practice {
     
     
        /* testing out instantiation and object oriented programming */
     
     
        public static class staticValues {
     
            static int num1 = 0;
            int num2;
        }
     
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
     
            staticValues s1 = new staticValues();
            s1.num1 = 10;
            s1.num2 = 9;
     
            staticValues s2 = new staticValues();
     
            staticValues s3 = new staticValues();
            s3.num1 = 8;
            s3.num2 = 2;
     
            System.out.println("num1 = " + s1 + "num2 = " + s2);
        }
    }

    the output is:

    run:
    num1 = programming1practice.Programming1Practice$staticVa lues@2f995c9anum2 = programming1practice.Programming1Practice$staticVa lues@7d8e9adf

    I fixed your highlight tags. No spaces.

    Welcome to the forum! Please read this topic to learn how to post code in code or highlight tags and other useful info for new members.

    What is the proper result? s1 and s2 are objects. Perhaps if you added a toString() method for the staticValues class the output would be to your liking.

    BTW - class names should begin with capital letters.

    I changed the class name to start with capital letters and turns out it didn't give the result that was shown in the video lecture because instead of
    System.out.println("num1 = " + s1.num1 + "num2 = " + s2.num2);
    in the code above i just had

    System.out.println("num1 = " + s1 + "num2 = " + s2);
