import java.util.ArrayList;

/**

 */
public class ReflectionDemo
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        Class<ArrayList> classObj = ArrayList.class;

        /*
         * Returns:the superclass of the class represented by this object.
         */

        Class<? super ArrayList> superClass = classObj.getSuperclass();

        System.out.println(superClass);
        System.out.println("Name = "+superClass.getName());
        System.out.println("Simple Name = "+superClass.getSimpleName());

    }

class java.util.AbstractList
Name = java.util.AbstractList
