BJP4 Self-Check 8.14: toStringPoint

Language/Type: Java classes instance methods Point toString
Author: Marty Stepp (on 2016/09/08)

Add the following method to the Point class:

public String toString()

Make it return a string in the following format. For example, if a Point object stored in a variable pt represents the point (5, -17), return the string: 

java.awt.Point[x=5,y=-17]

Your code is being added to the following class: 

public class Point {
    int x;
    int y;
    
    // your code goes here
    
}

(You don't need to write the class header or declare the fields; assume that this is already done for you. Just write your method's complete code in the box provided.)

This is a partial class problem. Submit code that will become part of an existing Java class as described. You do not need to write the complete class, just the portion described in the problem.
