What is a class literal in Java?
java, literals
Solution
Class<String> c = String.class;
Check out the Javadoc for `java.lang.Class` to see what you can do with one of these little guys - mostly related to reflection
Problem
From the Java tutorial: Finally, there's also a special kind of literal called a class literal, formed by taking a type name and appending "`.class`"; for example, `String.class`. This refers to the object (of type `Class`) that represents the type itself. To what type of variable can this literal be assigned to? Please give a small example if possible.
