toString method

@override String toString()

A string representation of this object.

Some classes have a default textual representation, often paired with a static parse function (like int.parse). These classes will provide the textual representation as their string representation.

Other classes have no meaningful textual representation that a program will care about. Such classes will typically override toString to provide useful information when inspecting the object, mainly for debugging or logging.

Implementation

@override
String toString() {
  StringBuffer sb = StringBuffer();
  sb.write('<ShortStack vector:[');
  for (int i = 0; i < _vector.length; i++) {
    if (i > 0) {
      sb.write(' ');
    }
    if (i == _top) {
      sb.write('>>');
    }

    sb.write(_vector[i]);

    if (i == _top) {
      sb.write('<<');
    }
  }

  sb.write(']>');

  return sb.toString();
}
