first time posting so I apologize if anything is off!
I'm coding along a Kotlin tutorial on YouTube and I came across this problem,
I did exactly as the instructor did in the video but when he run the code, it prints the "users" in the list with the for loop.
class User (var firstName: String, var lastName: String) {
companion object {
val users = mutableListOf<User>()
fun createUsers(count: Int): List<User> {
for(i in 0..count) {
users.add(User("FirstName$i", "LastName$i"))
}
return users
}
fun createUser(firstName: String, lastName: String): User {
return User(firstName, lastName)
}
}
}
This is the main function:
fun main() {
val user = User.createUser("foo", "bar")
println(user)
val users = User.createUsers(5)
println(users)
}
However, when I run it on my PC, it shows me the "users" location in memory and it loops through them and I get this output:
com.example.kotlin.User@880ec60
[com.example.kotlin.User@511baa65, com.example.kotlin.User@340f438e, com.example.kotlin.User@30c7da1e, com.example.kotlin.User@5b464ce8, com.example.kotlin.User@57829d67, com.example.kotlin.User@19dfb72a]
Process finished with exit code 0
I would really appreciate if someone can explain to me what's happening, thank you in advance!
