Getting a new variable with custom output and not a constructor location (name@xxxxx)

I've been trying to make a custom output from the constructor in Java, but it keeps giving me the location of it. The return does not work and throws up an error. The code is:

Public class Example {
public static int a, b;

Example(int inputForA, int inputForB){
   a = inputForA;
   b = inputForB;
   }
}

The output i want is a/b (a fraction, for example 3/2). I tried a return command, but it does not work:

Public class Example {
public static int a, b;

Example(int inputForA, int inputForB){
   a = inputForA;
   b = inputForB;
   return a  "/"  b; //i even tried making String Example(){...} in the beginning but it still does not work, throws an error
   }
}

The output i'm getting, when i am trying to print Example (3, 2)System.out.println(Example(3, 2)) is Example@4dd8dc3 and as mentioned i need 3/2.

Is there a way to do it? Thanks!

Example is a class, not a method. It's like a template for an object.

But you can put a method in that class that returns what you want.

Example.java

    package myPackage;

    public class Example 
    {
     public static int a, b;

     Example(int inputForA, int inputForB)
     {
       a = inputForA;
       b = inputForB;
     }
     float compute ()
     {
        return (float)a/(float)b;
     }
    }//_Example

Now we create an instance of Example and use this object in another class.

Main.java

    package myPackage;

    public class Main
    {
     public static void main(String []args)
     {
        Example exp = new Example (3, 2);
        System.out.println(exp.compute());

     }//_main
    }//_Main
