    copied!<p>My method locateLargest() as show below is a method to find the coordinates of my largest value in my array. I'm having trouble putting the return values into a toString method. I have no idea how to format it into the toString method.</p> <pre><code>public Location locateLargest(int[][] x){ int maxValue = getMax(x); for (int i = 0; i &lt; x.length; i++){ for (int j = 0; j &lt; x.length; j++) if (x[i][j] == maxValue) return new Location(i,j); } } </code></pre> <p>My toString attempt:</p> <pre><code>public String toString(){ return "[" + i + "][" + j + "]"; } </code></pre> <p>location class code:</p> <pre><code>class Location { private int row; private int column; Location(){}//end constructor Location(int row, int column){ this.row = row; this.column = column; }//end arg constructor public int getRow(){ return this.row; } public int getColumn(){ return this.column; } </code></pre> <p>Here is my full code for my program:</p> <pre><code>import java.util.Scanner; public class LocationTest { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner numberInput = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter the number of rows and columns of the array: "); int row = numberInput.nextInt(); int column = numberInput.nextInt(); Location l1 = new Location(row, column); Location l2 = new Location(); row = l1.getRow(); column = l1.getColumn(); int[][] array = new int[l1.getRow()][l1.getColumn()]; System.out.println("Please enter the array elements: "); for (int r = 0; r &lt; array.length; r++){ for (int c = 0; c &lt; array[r].length; c++){ array[r][c] = numberInput.nextInt(); }//end nested loop }//end for loop System.out.println(getMax(array)); System.out.println(l1.locateLargest(array).toString()); } public static int getMax(int[][] x){ int max = Integer.MIN_VALUE; for (int i = 0; i &lt; x.length; i++){ for (int j = 0; j &lt; x[i].length; j++){ if (x[i][j] &gt; max) max = x[i][j]; } } return max; } public Location locateLargest(int[][] x){ int maxValue = getMax(x); for (int i = 0; i &lt; x.length; i++){ for (int j = 0; j &lt; x.length; j++) if (x[i][j] == maxValue) return new Location(i,j); } return null; } } class Location { private int row; private int column; Location(){}//end constructor Location(int row, int column){ this.row = row; this.column = column; }//end arg constructor public int getRow(){ return this.row; } public int getColumn(){ return this.column; } public String toString(){ return "[" + row + "][" + column + "]"; } } </code></pre>
