The getType() method of java.lang.reflect.Field used to get the declared type of the field represented by this Field object.This method returns a Class object that identifies the declared type
Syntax:
public String getType()
Parameters: This method accepts nothing.
Return value: This method returns a Class object that identifies the declared type.
Below programs illustrate getType() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate getType() method import java.lang.reflect.Field; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // Get the marks field object Field field = User.class.getField("Marks"); // Apply getType Method on User Object // to get the Type of Marks field Class value = field.getType(); // print result System.out.println("Type" + " is " + value); // Now Get the Fees field object field = User.class.getField("Fees"); // Apply getType Method on User Object // to get the Type of Fees field value = field.getType(); // print result System.out.println("Type" + " is " + value); }} // sample User classclass User { // static double values public static double Marks = 34.13; public static float Fees = 3413.99f; public static double getMarks() { return Marks; } public static void setMarks(double marks) { Marks = marks; } public static float getFees() { return Fees; } public static void setFees(float fees) { Fees = fees; }} |
Output:
Type is double Type is float
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate getType() method import java.lang.reflect.Field;import java.time.Month; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // Get all field objects of Month class Field[] fields = Month.class.getFields(); for (int i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) { // print name of Fields System.out.println("Name of Field: " + fields[i].getType()); } }} |
Output:
Name of Field: class java.time.Month Name of Field: class java.time.Month Name of Field: class java.time.Month Name of Field: class java.time.Month Name of Field: class java.time.Month Name of Field: class java.time.Month Name of Field: class java.time.Month Name of Field: class java.time.Month Name of Field: class java.time.Month Name of Field: class java.time.Month Name of Field: class java.time.Month Name of Field: class java.time.Month
