    Finding Fields of Class:

            A Field is nothing but an instance variable in java we can create variables either in a 
      class or in a method. We call variables either in a class or in a method. We call variable 
     declared in a class as instance variable and variable declared in a method are called local 
     variables. By using reflection it is possible to find instance variable META DATA(fields 
     META DATA).
     
          public class A
        {
             int x;              //x (Class Scope) instance variable or field
             void m1()
           {
              int y;            // y(method scope) local variable
              if(condition)
            {
               int z;         //z(Block scope) or local variable
             }
           }
        }

        To get META DATA  of fields we call getFields() it returns an array of field of type.
        Field f[]=c.getFields();

        Field is a class given in java.lang and java.lang.reflect package java.lang.reflect is sub 
     package java.lang and we call this java.lang.reflect as a reflection API.
     
     C----- > API ------ >header Files ------ > (set of functions)
     C++--- >API ------ >header Files ------ >(set of functions and classes).
    Java --- >API ------ >header Files------ >(set of classes & interfaces sub packages).

          To find reflection on fields we need to get a field and then we need to get one by one 
      field object from that array we need to get the data type and variable name.

      For Example:

       // ReflectDemo4.java

         public class ReflectDemo4{
             public static void main(String argra[]) {
                  Class c=Class.forName(args[0]);
                  Field f[]=c.getFields();
                  for(int i=0;i<f.length;i++){
                    String s1=f[1].getType().getName();
                    String s2=f[i].getName();
                    System.out.println(s1+”     “+s2);
                   }
                 }
               }

     Output:

              C:\> javac ReflectDemo3.java
              C:\> java ReflectDemo3 java.lang.Thread
                       int MIN_PRIORITY
                       int NORM_PRIORITY
                       int MAX_PRIORITY
