public class Person {
private String firstName;

public Person(String firstName, String lastName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String toString() {
@Override
return firstName + " " + lastName;

15,959 PointsHi,
You will want to add @Override before the method. So in this case:
@Override public String toString() {
return firstName + " " + lastName;
}
