Can't call super.toString

Question

I tried calling the super.toString of the superclass in the subclass Manager, but it won't work. I want the output to be like this:

current data:
#Person (ID=1):
firstname: NN                  
lastname: NN                  
email: unknown
date of birth: 01.01.1970
annual pay: 0.00
#Manager:
annual base pay: 0.00
bonus: 0.00

firstname: lastname: email: date of birth: enter date (y m d)

but all I get is without displaying attributes from the superclass:

firstname:
lastname:
email:
date of birth: enter date (y m d)

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated thanks

Answer 1

Forget about super.toString(). Just invoke the getters for the properties you need from Person.

Answer 2

Adjust:

public String toString(){
                super.toString();
                return String.format("%s/n#Manager:\nannual base pay: %d\nbonus: %d",super.toString(),getAnnualBasePay(), getBonus());
        }

to

 public String toString(){

            return super.toString()+"\n"+String.format("%s/n#Manager:\nannual base pay: %d\nbonus: %d",super.toString(),getAnnualBasePay(), getBonus());
        }
