The getClass() method of StringWriter Class in Java is used to get the parent Class of this StringWriter instance. This method does not accepts any parameter and returns the required Class details.
Syntax:
public final Class String getClass()
Parameters: This method accepts does not accepts any parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the Class details which is the parent Class of the StringWriter instance.
Below methods illustrates the working of getClass() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// StringWriter getClass() method  import java.io.*;  class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          try {              // Create a StringWriter instance            StringWriter writer                = new StringWriter();              // Get the String            // to be written in the stream            String string = "GeeksForGeeks";              // Write the string            // to this writer using write() method            writer.write(string);              // Get Class details using getClass()            System.out.println("Parent Class: "                               + writer.getClass());        }        catch (Exception e) {            System.out.println(e);        }    }} |
Output:
Parent Class: class java.io.StringWriter
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// StringWriter getClass() method  import java.io.*;  class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          try {              // Create a StringWriter instance            StringWriter writer                = new StringWriter();              // Get the String            // to be written in the stream            String string = "GFG";              // Write the string            // to this writer using write() method            writer.write(string);              // Get Class details using getClass()            System.out.println("Parent Class: "                               + writer.getClass());        }        catch (Exception e) {            System.out.println(e);        }    }} |
Output:
Parent Class: class java.io.StringWriter
