The implementation of the toString method in class Object returns a string matching this pattern:
classname@objecthashcode.
To get a useful output, you have to override the toString method in your class, e.g.
@Override
public String toString() {
return name+" "+type; // just an example
}
Usually you return all attributes of your class from the overridden toString method, but you can return every string you want to.

you are printing an object (in your case v1).
the result is a string returned by the method v1.ToString()
this string is composed by the class name of the object, the @ sign and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object
