✅ Outputting values from a list

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);
        }
    }
}

please post code with $code instead

To post C# code type the following:
```cs
// code here
```

Get an example by typing $codegif in chat

If your code is too long, post it to: https://paste.mod.gg/

$codegif

this will call ToString on person

and the default tostring for an object is to print the class name

you need to override ToString in your Person class

oh okay? I was following a simple tutorial and this is one of the examples

well either you do something like...

Console.WriteLine($"{person.Name}: {person.Age}");

or you override the ToString method in your class

thanks!
