Below programs illustrate the working of toString() method:

Program 1:

// Java code to illustrate toString() method 
  
import java.util.*; 
  
public class Locale_Demo { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        // Creating a new locale 
        Locale first_locale 
            = new Locale("nu", "NO", "NY"); 
  
        // Displaying first locale 
        System.out.println("First Locale: "
                           + first_locale); 
  
        // Displaying the string of this locale 
        System.out.println("The String: "
                           + first_locale.toString()); 
    } 
} 

Output:

First Locale: nu_NO_NY
The String: nu_NO_NY

Program 2:

// Java code to illustrate toString() method 
  
import java.util.*; 
  
public class Locale_Demo { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        // Creating a new locale 
        Locale first_locale 
            = new Locale("ar", "SA"); 
  
        // Displaying first locale 
        System.out.println("First Locale: "
                           + first_locale); 
  
        // Displaying the string of this locale 
        System.out.println("The String: "
                           + first_locale.toString()); 
    } 
}
