What method/property should I call in the place of "METHOD?" in

If R1 is a object of Rectangle class with width 20, on calling
"R1.printRectangle()" it should print out

"R1Is having a width of 20"

What should it print in the following cases?

void someMethod(Rectangle r) {
r.printRectangle();
}

Rectangle r1 = new Rectangle(...);
Rectangle r2 = r1;

r1.printRectangle();
r2.printRectangle();
someMethod(r1);
someMethod(r2);

In other words, there is no property of the object that will give you
the information you are looking for. If you want to give names to your
objects, you need to add fields to the class and should probably
override toString() as well.
