The getName() method is used to get the names of the entities such as interface, class, array class, void etc. that are represented by the class objects. These names are returned in the form of a string. The getPackage() method gets the package for the given class.A program that gets the class name for various objects is given as follows −Examplepackage Test; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.HashMap; public class Demo {    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {       Object obj = "string";       System.out.println("The class name is: " + obj.getClass().getName());       obj ...

All distinct elements of an array are printed i.e. all the elements in the array are printed only once and duplicate elements are not printed. An example of this is given as follows.Array = 1 5 9 1 4 9 6 5 9 7 Distinct elements of above array = 1 5 9 4 6 7A program that demonstrates this is given as follows.Examplepublic class Example {    public static void main (String[] args) {       int arr[] = {1, 5, 9, 1, 4, 9, 6, 5, 9, 7};       int n = arr.length;     ...

An array is created using the java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance() method. This method basically creates a new array with the required component type as well as length.The array is filled using the java.lang.reflect.Array.setInt() method. This method sets the required integer value at the index specified for the array.The array displayed using the for loop. A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Exampleimport java.lang.reflect.Array; public class Demo {    public static void main (String args[]) {       int arr[] = (int[])Array.newInstance(int.class, 10);       int size = Array.getLength(arr);       for (int i = 0; i

An array can be converted into a fixed size list using the java.util.Arrays.asList() method. This method is basically a bridge between array based AP!’s and collection based API’s.A program that demonstrates the conversion of an array into a generic list is given as follows −Exampleimport java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Collections; import java.util.List; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       String str[] = new String[]{"apple", "orange", "mango", "guava", "melon"};       List list = Arrays.asList(str);       System.out.println("The list is: " + list);    } }The output of the above program is as follows ...

The java.util.Arrays.sort() method can be used to sort a subset of the array elements in Java. This method has three arguments i.e. the array to be sorted, the index of the first element of the subset (included in the sorted elements) and the index of the last element of the subset (excluded from the sorted elements). Also, the Arrays.sort() method does not return any value.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Exampleimport java.util.Arrays; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       int arr[] = { 1, 9, 7, 3, 2, 8, 4, ...
