I am trying to enter user details into a LinkedList based off input from a JOptionPane input dialog box. But if I add the strings directly it gives an error because the LinkedList is of BabySitterPeople objects. So when i try adding the BabySitterPeople objects it outputs something like BabySitterPeople23234e@21 Please Help me fix this so it correctly prints the user details.
