Example 1

//import statements  
import java.lang.reflect.*;

public class ClassgetMethodsExample1 {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      try {
         Class cls1 = Class.forName("java.awt.Label");
         System.out.println("Methods =");
      
         Method mthd[] = cls1.getMethods();
         for(int i = 0; i < mthd.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(mthd[i]);
         }
      } catch (Exception e) {
         System.out.println("Exception: " + e); //print exception object
      }
   }
}
