Last Updated :

The getModule() method of java.lang.Class class is used to get the module of this entity. This entity can be a class, an array, an interface, etc. The method returns the module of the entity.
Syntax:
public Module getModule()
Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the module of the entity.
Below programs demonstrate the getModule() method.
Note: This method was introduced in Java 9. Hence to run this method, we need a compiler with Java 9. So this won’t run in the online IDE.
Example 1:
Java
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws ClassNotFoundException
{
Class myClass = Class.forName("Test");
System.out.println("Class represented by myClass: "
+ myClass.toString());
System.out.println("Module of myClass: "
+ myClass.getModule());
}
}
|
Output:
Class represented by myClass: class Test
Module of myClass: unnamed module @23fc625e
Example 2:
Java
public class Test {
class Arr {
}
public static void main(String[] args)
throws ClassNotFoundException
{
Class arrClass = Arr.class;
System.out.println("Module of arrClass: "
+ arrClass.getModule());
}
}
|
Output:
Module of arrClass: unnamed module @23fc625e
