Getting name of superclass (Example: ArithmeticException)

[Java Tip]

Getting name of superclass is easy. Consider the following code sample:

Code:

System.out.println("Super class of RuntimeException is: " + 
ArithmeticException.class.getSuperclass());

System.out.println("Super class of " +
ArithmeticException.class.getSuperclass()+ " is: "
+ ArithmeticException.class.getSuperclass().getSuperclass());

System.out.println("Super class of " +
ArithmeticException.class.getSuperclass().getSuperclass()+ " is:
"+ArithmeticException.class.getSuperclass().getSuperclass().getSuperclass());

System.out.println("Super class of " +
ArithmeticException.class.getSuperclass().getSuperclass().getSuperclass()+ " is:
"+ArithmeticException.class.getSuperclass().getSuperclass().getSuperclass().
getSuperclass());

Output:

Code:

Super class of RuntimeException is: class java.lang.RuntimeException
Super class of class java.lang.RuntimeException is: class java.lang.Exception
Super class of class java.lang.Exception is: class java.lang.Throwable
Super class of class java.lang.Throwable is: class java.lang.Object
