Getting the name of a sub-class from within a super-class

Question

Let\'s say I have a base class named Entity. In that class, I have a static method to retrieve the class name:

class Entity {
    public static         


        

Answer 1

If i am taking it right you want to use your sub class in base class in static method I think you can do this by passing a class parameter to the method

class Entity {
    public static void useClass(Class c) {
        System.out.println(c);
        // to do code here
    }
}

class User extends Entity {
}

class main{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        Entity.useClass(Entity.class);
    }
}
