FieldPosition toString() method in Java with Example

The toString() method of java.text.FieldPosition class is used to represent the field position object in the form of string.

Syntax:

public String toString()

Parameter: This method does not accepts any argument as parameter.

Return Value: This method returns the string representation of this FieldPosition object.

Below are the examples to illustrate the toString() method:

Example 1:

// Java program to demonstrate 
// toString() method 
  
import java.text.*; 
import java.util.*; 
import java.io.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] argv) 
    { 
        try { 
  
            // Creating and initializing 
            // new FieldPosition Object 
            FieldPosition pos 
                = new FieldPosition( 
                    MessageFormat.Field.ARGUMENT); 
  
            // getting the String representation 
            // of this FieldPosition Object 
            // using toString() method 
            String str = pos.toString(); 
  
            // display result 
            System.out.println("FieldPosition :- " + str); 
        } 
  
        catch (ClassCastException e) { 
  
            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Output:

FieldPosition :- java.text.FieldPosition[field=-1, attribute=java.text.MessageFormat$Field(message argument field), beginIndex=0, endIndex=0]

Example 2:

// Java program to demonstrate 
// toString() method 
  
import java.text.*; 
import java.util.*; 
import java.io.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] argv) 
    { 
        try { 
  
            // Creating and initializing 
            // new FieldPosition Object 
            FieldPosition pos 
                = new FieldPosition( 
                    DateFormat.Field.AM_PM); 
  
            // getting the String representation 
            // of this FieldPosition Object 
            // using toString() method 
            String str = pos.toString(); 
  
            // display result 
            System.out.println("FieldPosition :- " + str); 
        } 
  
        catch (ClassCastException e) { 
  
            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Output:

FieldPosition :- java.text.FieldPosition[field=-1, attribute=java.text.DateFormat$Field(am pm), beginIndex=0, endIndex=0]
