Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate isArray() methodpublic class Test { public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException { // returns the Class object for this class Class myClass = Class.forName("Test"); System.out.println("Class represented by myClass: " + myClass.toString()); // Check if this class is an array // using isArray() method System.out.println("Is Test an array: " + myClass.isArray()); }} |
Output:
Class represented by myClass: class Test Is Test an array: false
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate isArray() methodpublic class Test { public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException { int[] T = new int[5]; // Check if T is an array // using isArray() method System.out.println("Is T an array: " + T.getClass().isArray()); }} |
