LookUp

Been plugging away at Rudy's Rental Shop, and have come upon a conceptual stumbling block (sounds good, eh? OK, so it's a brain failure. Anyway...).
The method getDescription returns a String. I can think of ways of having a method print several strings out directly, so that it looks like a list of descriptive info. I'm a bit stuck, however, on how to return "one" String that is formatted as I imagine it. Certainly I'm missing something simple here - any clues?
Thanks,
Pauline

you can print several strings together directly from the method that are formatted to look the way i think it should look \ or, at least the way i passed.

Hmmm. Here I picture a method with a return type of void rather than String.

?

Don't forget you can concatenate Strings by usign the + operator and a few \n's.

okay, just go ahead and say it, Jason!

i guess i was being too cryptic by not explicitly saying use the "\n". also, my method is not void...

Oh those pesky + and \n 's. Yeh, I had started playing with those, guess I gave up too soon.
Thanks, Greg, for being cryptic.

Thanks, Jason, for just saying it.

*mutters* Next time I'll say it in pig-latin

I guess that was quite a "hint", you owe me Pauline *cackle*

*squeals and snorts* pig latin! esyay!
Just to make you feel better Jason, Greg's post actually gave away the solution to my problem: while fumbling around for the solution I had tried using \n's but had forgotten to put " " around them!

*mutters back* ok, ok, so I owe you one.
