Each class extends java.lang.Object. The Object class has a method: public String toString (). This method automatically gets called when you try to do what you are trying to do.

For example:

public class Hi

{
String hey;

Hi () { hey = "Hey"; }

public String toString () { return hey; }

public static void main ( String args[] )

{ System.out.println ( new Hi () ); }
}

This will print out "Hey."

You have to iterate through the list yourself and get each one.

it depends, are you storing the numbers as "int" or as "Integer"?

If he is using the Java Collection API then he would have to be using Integer since the Collection API stores everything as Object.

    
Iterator it = myIntegerList.iterator();//could be ArrayList ?

StringBuffer integerString = new StringBuffer();
while(it.hasNext())
{
    Integer tmpInt = (Integer)it.next();//this line is to make it a little clean

    integerString.append(tmpInt.toString());
    integerString.append(" ");//add a space

}

System.out.println(integerString.toString());

something along those lines. I didn't compile it
