Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

Example:

String[] mystr ={"a","b","c"}; System.out.println("mystr.toString: " + mystr.toString()); output:- mystr.toString: [Ljava.lang.String;@13aaa14a

toString is a method that is part of the Object prototype. This means that all simple objects have a toString method, which converts  them to a string representation.

On an object, the output of toString method will be "[object Object]", so you have to override it to show your specific of your object representation if needed.
