You can read this. As it is not used in java as it is a statically typed language

Answer 2

String name = "Anima";
if (name instanceof String)
System.out.println("name is String" );
if (String.class.isInstance(name) )
System.out.println("instance of String" );
Class<?> nameCl = name.getClass();
System.out.println( nameCl.getSimpleName() );
System.out.println( nameCl.getName() );
System.out.println( nameCl.getTypeName() );
System.out.println( nameCl.toString() );
System.out.println( nameCl );

Answer 3

zemiak sorry but i didnt get your code..can you explain me what is this- Class<?>

Answer 4

Class<?> is type of class named 'Class'
and it using one parameter of generic type
instead ? can be eg String,
but in this code we don't know what type there is
so there is ? wildcard and java get the type from name variable
