How do I print the variable name holding an object?

Question

How do I print the variable name holding my object?

For example, I have:

myclass ob=new myclass()

How would I print \"ob\"?

Answer 1

Workaround. If you want the object name then you can initialize at constructor.

//in class myClass

private String objName;

myClass(String objN)
{
    this.objName = objN;
..
}
public String getObjName() {
    return objName;
}
//in main()
.
.
.
myclass ob = new myclass("ob"); //any other variables accessing this object 
                              //eg. temOb = ob get the same object name "ob"
System.out.println("object name is: " + ob.getObjName());
myclass ob1 = new myclass("ob1");
System.out.println("object name is: " + ob1.getObjName());
