The getModifiers() method of java.lang.Class class is used to get the Java language modifiers of this class. The method returns an integer representing the encoded modifiers of this class.
Syntax:
public int getModifiers()
Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: This method returns an integer representing the encoded modifiers of this class.
Below programs demonstrate the getModifiers() method.
Example:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate getModifiers() method import java.util.*;
import java.lang.reflect.*;
public 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());
// Get the modifiers of myClass
// using getModifiers() method
System.out.println(
"Modifiers of myClass: "
+ Modifier.toString(
myClass.getModifiers()));
}
} |
Output:
Class represented by myClass: class Test Modifiers of myClass: public
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate getModifiers() method import java.util.*;
import java.lang.reflect.*;
class Main {
private class Arr {
};
public Object obj;
Main()
{
obj = new Arr();
}
public static void main(String[] args)
throws ClassNotFoundException
{
Main t = new Main();
// returns the Class object
Class myClass = t.obj.getClass();
// Get the modifiers of myClass
// using getModifiers() method
System.out.println( "Modifiers of myClass: "
+ Modifier.toString(
myClass.getModifiers()));
}
} |
Output:
Modifiers of myClass: private
