RTTI and Reflection

1.  What is RTTI?

      RunTime Type Identification (RTTI).

2 What's the RTTI used for?

    To check the type of a object at runtime. It typically used in the following two situations:

    (1) downcasting

    (2)instanceof

    

  

3. The Class class.
• At compile time, Java creates the Class objects and stores them in .class files.
• At run time, when an object of a class is created for the first time, the JVM loads the Class object into memory.
• When the Class object of a given type is loaded, it is used to create any object of that type.
