Trying to write toString method

[curious]

Here's my code:

public String toString()
    {
        Iterator<Term> iter = poly.iterator();
        while (iter.hasNext())
        {
            Term term = iter.next();
            return term.toString();
        }  
    }

I am getting missing return statement error because it's inside the loop. But i need to transverse the linkedlist to getting string printed.

The compiler is complaining because what happens if polyp has no terms? Then nothing ever gets returned, and that just won't do.

I'm complaining because even if this did work, it would find only ever return the String obtained from the first term. My guess is that you want to combine all the Strings returned, and if so, I'd use a StringBuilder, append the strings to the StringBuilder in the loop, and then after the loop, return the StringBuilder's toString result.

Ya, I did the same thing. You were late by a min.

Thank you very much for help.

Doesn't matter if I'm late. What matters is if you've solved your problem. Congrats. If you don't mind, please mark this thread "Solved" before you go.
