Thread: Help with object

Hi This is my first post on this forum, so first I would like to say Hi!


I have created a loop that returns a contact object by surName that is held in a contact list.

 
    public Contact print(String surName)
    {
 
         for(Contact contact : contacts)
         {
             if(surName.equals(contact.surName))
             {
                 contact.print();
             }
        }
        //no match
        return null;
    }

What I am trying to do now is return the details of the contact object and print them out as String or as Print method. Any ideas please?

A few questions first:
-What happens in the print() method of contact?
-You want to print details from the class, but what is the problem? you dont know how to print? you dont know how to get the attributes?

in the print() method for contact...what coding do you write?

if you want to print the detail in GUI there is some info from this 2 website below:

How to Make Dialogs (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components)

JOptionPane (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)

it about showing pop up message/output...

You might want to replace contact.print(); with return contact;
