✅ Outputting values from a list
DDiMiaN3/11/2023
When typing in name and age it doesnt display the correct values. Instead it outputs: Program+Person.
internal class Program
{
public class Person
{
public string name { get; }
public int age { get; set; }
public int weight { get; set; }
public int height { get; set; }
public Person(string name, int age)
{
this.age = age;
this.name = name;
this.weight = 0;
this.height = 0;
}
// Rest of the Person
}
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
List<Person> persons = new List<Person>();
// Read the names of persons from the user
while (true)
{
Console.Write("Enter a name, empty will stop: ");
String name = Console.ReadLine();
if (name == "")
{
break;
}
Console.Write("Enter the age of the person " + name + ": ");
int age = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
// Add to the list a new person
// whose name is the previous user input
persons.Add(new Person(name, age));
}
// Print the number of the entered persons, and their individual information
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("Persons in total: " + persons.Count);
Console.WriteLine("Persons: ");
foreach (Person person in persons)
{
Console.WriteLine(person);
}
}
}

Console.WriteLine(person);
PPobiega3/11/2023
this will call
ToString
on personPPobiega3/11/2023
and the default tostring for an object is to print the class name
PPobiega3/11/2023
you need to override
ToString
in your Person classDDiMiaN3/11/2023
oh okay? I was following a simple tutorial and this is one of the examples
PPobiega3/11/2023
well either you do something like...
Console.WriteLine($"{person.Name}: {person.Age}");
PPobiega3/11/2023
or you override the ToString method in your class
