71 * Instances of the class {@code Class} represent classes and
72 * interfaces in a running Java application. An enum is a kind of
73 * class and an annotation is a kind of interface. Every array also
74 * belongs to a class that is reflected as a {@code Class} object
75 * that is shared by all arrays with the same element type and number
76 * of dimensions. The primitive Java types ({@code boolean},
77 * {@code byte}, {@code char}, {@code short},
78 * {@code int}, {@code long}, {@code float}, and
79 * {@code double}), and the keyword {@code void} are also
80 * represented as {@code Class} objects.
82 * <p> {@code Class} has no public constructor. Instead {@code Class}
83 * objects are constructed automatically by the Java Virtual Machine as classes
84 * are loaded and by calls to the {@code defineClass} method in the class
87 * <p> The following example uses a {@code Class} object to print the
88 * class name of an object:
90 * <p> <blockquote><pre>
91 * void printClassName(Object obj) {
92 * System.out.println("The class of " + obj +
93 * " is " + obj.getClass().getName());
97 * <p> It is also possible to get the {@code Class} object for a named
98 * type (or for void) using a class literal. See Section 15.8.2 of
99 * <cite>The Java™ Language Specification</cite>.
103 * {@code System.out.println("The name of class Foo is: "+Foo.class.getName());}
106 * @param <T> the type of the class modeled by this {@code Class}
107 * object. For example, the type of {@code String.class} is {@code
108 * Class<String>}. Use {@code Class<?>} if the class being modeled is
