Below methods illustrates the working of getClass() method:

Program 1:




// Java program to demonstrate
// StringWriter getClass() method
  
import java.io.*;
  
class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        try {
  
            // Create a StringWriter instance
            StringWriter writer
                = new StringWriter();
  
            // Get the String
            // to be written in the stream
            String string = "w3wiki";
  
            // Write the string
            // to this writer using write() method
            writer.write(string);
  
            // Get Class details using getClass()
            System.out.println("Parent Class: "
                               + writer.getClass());
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

Parent Class: class java.io.StringWriter

Program 2:




// Java program to demonstrate
// StringWriter getClass() method
  
import java.io.*;
  
class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        try {
  
            // Create a StringWriter instance
            StringWriter writer
                = new StringWriter();
  
            // Get the String
            // to be written in the stream
            String string = "GFG";
  
            // Write the string
            // to this writer using write() method
            writer.write(string);
  
            // Get Class details using getClass()
            System.out.println("Parent Class: "
                               + writer.getClass());
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
