Introduction to OOP

Chapter 25: Reflection and Introspection :

Class Objects

In most languages, introspection begins with an object that represents the class. Typically this object has class Class.

C++ typeinfo aClass = tyupeid(AVariable);
CLOS (class-of aVariable)
Delphi Pascal aClass := aVariable.ClassType;
Java Class aClass = aVariable.getClass();
Smalltalk aClass <- aVariable class

C++	typeinfo aClass = tyupeid(AVariable);
CLOS	(class-of aVariable)
Delphi Pascal	aClass := aVariable.ClassType;
Java	Class aClass = aVariable.getClass();
Smalltalk	aClass <- aVariable class
