Java Q - To extend a class or not

[Tekk]

I have a class Person that has a toString() method in it. My main class creates a person object and stores each person object as part of a vector. I know vectors have a built in toString() but I want the the default toString() to be the one I have created in the Person class. Would it be better to have the Person class extend the Vector class? (public class Person extends Vector) or create another class Vector and just have the toString() that I want in there.

i would just create another class vector.

why are you using a "vector"?

My main class creates a person object

define 'main' class, or post person class object class code, then 'main' class code.

My main class creates a person object

no, it doesn't.

Well Im using a vector because its part of the assignment.
Here is the code Im talkin about.

Er... your code doesn't seem to call vector.toString() anywhere. Why would you want to call vector.toString() anyway?

[Tekk]

Im a dummy Hehe...I see now that since the vector holds the Person object, it will automatically use the Person.toString() and not the vector.toString().
