About the “class” property/field

Question

When you do:

MyClass.class.someMethod()

What exactly is the \"class\" field? I can\'t find it in the API docs. Is it an inherited static fi

Answer 1

The .class is not actually a field. You can think of is as more of an 'extension' like a file extension. It is a token used to differentiate the Class Object as opposed to an instance of the class.
