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

You can't get the name of object reference. Instead you can get its hashcode or counter. I solve this problem as follows:

class ObjectName
{
    static int num;
    ObjectName()
    {
     num++;
    }

    public int getObjectCount()
    {
        return num;
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ObjectName ob1=new ObjectName();
        System.out.println(ob1.getClass().getName()+" "+ob1.getObjectCount());
        ObjectName ob2=new ObjectName();
        System.out.println(ob1.getClass().getName()+" "+ob1.getObjectCount());
    }
}

Output:

ObjectName 1
ObjectName 2
