1. toString()来源
源于java.lang.Object类，源码如下：
/**
* Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the
* {@code toString} method returns a string that
* "textually represents" this object. The result should
* be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a
* person to read.
* It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.
* <p>
* The {@code toString} method for class {@code Object}
* returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the
* object is an instance, the at-sign character `{@code @}', and
* the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the
* object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the
* value of:
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
* </pre></blockquote>
*
* @return a string representation of the object.
*/
public String toString() {
return getClass().getName() + "@" + Integer.toHexString(hashCode());
}
2. toString()目的
返回对象的字符串描述，是该对象的文本表示。该表示必须描述简洁且包含了该对象的信息，便于阅读。
推荐所有的子类重写该方法。
3. toString()实现（JDK8）
（1）Object类中的实现
在Object类中，该方法返回的是“该实例对象的类名@该对象的hashcode的十六进制表示”。对于我们而言，能阅读到的仅仅是该实例的类名。所以推荐对Object的子类重写该方法。
（2）包装类中的实现
① Boolean
/**
* Returns a {@code String} object representing this Boolean's
* value. If this object represents the value {@code true},
* a string equal to {@code "true"} is returned. Otherwise, a
* string equal to {@code "false"} is returned.
*
* @return a string representation of this object.
*/
public String toString() {
return value ? "true" : "false";
}
② Byte（借助于Integer）
/**
* Returns a new {@code String} object representing the
* specified {@code byte}. The radix is assumed to be 10.
*
* @param b the {@code byte} to be converted
* @return the string representation of the specified {@code byte}
* @see java.lang.Integer#toString(int)
*/
public static String toString(byte b) {
return Integer.toString((int)b, 10);
}
/**
* Returns a {@code String} object representing this
* {@code Byte}'s value. The value is converted to signed
* decimal representation and returned as a string, exactly as if
* the {@code byte} value were given as an argument to the
* {@link java.lang.Byte#toString(byte)} method.
*
* @return a string representation of the value of this object in
* base 10.
*/
public String toString() {
return Integer.toString((int)value);
}
③ Short（借助于Integer）
/**
* Returns a new {@code String} object representing the
* specified {@code short}. The radix is assumed to be 10.
*
* @param s the {@code short} to be converted
* @return the string representation of the specified {@code short}
* @see java.lang.Integer#toString(int)
*/
public static String toString(short s) {
return Integer.toString((int)s, 10);
}
/**
* Returns a {@code String} object representing this
* {@code Short}'s value. The value is converted to signed
* decimal representation and returned as a string, exactly as if
* the {@code short} value were given as an argument to the
* {@link java.lang.Short#toString(short)} method.
*
* @return a string representation of the value of this object in
* base 10.
*/
public String toString() {
return Integer.toString((int)value);
}
④ Character
/**
* Returns a {@code String} object representing this
* {@code Character}'s value. The result is a string of
* length 1 whose sole component is the primitive
* {@code char} value represented by this
* {@code Character} object.
*
* @return a string representation of this object.
*/
public String toString() {

return String.valueOf(buf);
}

两个toString,一个是在多进制下转字符串，有多少位就要循环多少次。
toString(value)的方法默认为十进制，毕竟使用的多，而上面的方法太慢了，toString(value)明显减少了迭代次数。
