How to call the name of the object in Java?

I have created an object

Student student1 = new Student(***, ***, ***, ***);

In my toString override, how do I pull/reference the object's identifier student1? Without creating a field for it.

   @Override
public String toString() {
    return "Student{" +
            "id=" + this.id +
            '}';
}

System.out.println(student1)

I want the output to be Student{student1, id=***}

Objects exist independently of any variables that reference them. You can't use their variable name in a toString() or any other method.

Just create a student object and call the toString() method on the student object.

For eg,

Student student1 = new Student(***, ***, ***, ***);  
student1.toString();

This will call your override method toString() in your Student class.

In your toString method on Student class, you don't need stdout or any output.

Just return "Student { "id =" + this.id }";
