Array Types

• Can apply getClass to an array
• Returned object describes an array type
  

  double[] a = new double[10];
  Class c = a.getClass();
  if (c.isArray())
     System.out.println(c.getComponentType()); 
        // prints double
  

• getName produces strange names for array types
  

  [D for double[])
  [[java.lang.String; for String[][]
