/**

 * Instances of the class {@code Class} represent classes and

 * interfaces in a running Java application.  An enum is a kind of

 * class and an annotation is a kind of interface.  Every array also

 * belongs to a class that is reflected as a {@code Class} object

 * that is shared by all arrays with the same element type and number

 * of dimensions.  The primitive Java types ({@code boolean},

 * {@code byte}, {@code char}, {@code short},

 * {@code int}, {@code long}, {@code float}, and

 * {@code double}), and the keyword {@code void} are also

 * represented as {@code Class} objects.

 *

 * <p> {@code Class} has no public constructor. Instead {@code Class}

 * objects are constructed automatically by the Java Virtual Machine as classes

 * are loaded and by calls to the {@code defineClass} method in the class

 * loader.

 *

 * <p> The following example uses a {@code Class} object to print the

 * class name of an object:

 *

 * <p> <blockquote><pre>

 *     void printClassName(Object obj) {

 *         System.out.println("The class of " + obj +

 *                            " is " + obj.getClass().getName());

 *     }

 * </pre></blockquote>

 *

 * <p> It is also possible to get the {@code Class} object for a named

 * type (or for void) using a class literal.  See Section 15.8.2 of

 * <cite>The Java&trade; Language Specification</cite>.

 * For example:

 *

 * <p> <blockquote>

 *     {@code System.out.println("The name of class Foo is: "+Foo.class.getName());}

 * </blockquote>

 *

 * @param <T> the type of the class modeled by this {@code Class}

 * object.  For example, the type of {@code String.class} is {@code

 * Class<String>}.  Use {@code Class<?>} if the class being modeled is

 * unknown.

 * @since   JDK1.0
