The toString() method of UUID class in Java is generally used to get the string representation of this UUID. Syntax: 
public String toString()
Parameters: This method does not take any parameter. Return Value: This method returns a String value which is the string representation of this UUID. Below programs illustrate the working of toString() method: Program 1: Java 
// Java code to illustrate toString() method

import java.util.*;

public class UUID_Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Creating two UUIDs
        UUID UUID_1
            = UUID
                  .fromString(
                      "58e0a7d7-eebc-11d8-9669-0800200c9a66");

        // Displaying the UUID
        System.out.println("UUID: "
                           + UUID_1);

        // Displaying the string representation
        System.out.println("The string representation is: "
                           + UUID_1.toString());
    }
}
Output: 
UUID: 58e0a7d7-eebc-11d8-9669-0800200c9a66
The string representation is: 58e0a7d7-eebc-11d8-9669-0800200c9a66
Program 2: Java 
// Java code to illustrate toString() method

import java.util.*;

public class UUID_Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Creating two UUIDs
        UUID UUID_1
            = UUID
                  .fromString(
                      "5fc03087-d265-11e7-b8c6-83e29cd24f4c");

        // Displaying the UUID
        System.out.println("UUID: "
                           + UUID_1);

        // Displaying the toString Value
        System.out.println("The string representation is: "
                           + UUID_1.toString());
    }
}
Output: 
UUID: 5fc03087-d265-11e7-b8c6-83e29cd24f4c
The string representation is: 5fc03087-d265-11e7-b8c6-83e29cd24f4c
