The toGenericString() method of java.lang.Class class is used to convert the instance of this Class to a string representation along with the information about the modifiers and type parameters. This method returns the formed string representation.
Syntax:
public String toGenericString()
Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the String representation of this object.
Below programs demonstrate the toGenericString() method.
Example 1:
// Java program to demonstrate toGenericString() method public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException { // returns the Class object for the class // with the specified name Class c1 = Class.forName("java.lang.String"); System.out.print("Class represented by c1: "); // toGenericString method on c1 System.out.println(c1.toGenericString()); }} |
Output:
Class represented by c1: public final class java.lang.String
Example 2:
// Java program to demonstrate toGenericString() method public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException { // returns the Class object for the class // with the specified name Class c2 = int.class; Class c3 = void.class; System.out.print("Class represented by c2: "); // toGenericString method on c2 System.out.println(c2.toGenericString()); System.out.print("Class represented by c3: "); // toGenericString method on c3 System.out.println(c3.toGenericString()); }} |
Output:
Class represented by c2: int Class represented by c3: void
