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
