Below programs illustrate the working of toString() method:

Program 1:

// Java code to illustrate toString() method

import java.util.*;

public class Locale_Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Creating a new locale
        Locale first_locale
            = new Locale("nu", "NO", "NY");

        // Displaying first locale
        System.out.println("First Locale: "
                           + first_locale);

        // Displaying the string of this locale
        System.out.println("The String: "
                           + first_locale.toString());
    }
}

Output:

First Locale: nu_NO_NY
The String: nu_NO_NY

Program 2:

// Java code to illustrate toString() method

import java.util.*;

public class Locale_Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Creating a new locale
        Locale first_locale
            = new Locale("ar", "SA");

        // Displaying first locale
        System.out.println("First Locale: "
                           + first_locale);

        // Displaying the string of this locale
        System.out.println("The String: "
                           + first_locale.toString());
    }
}
