709 * Returns the name of the entity (class, interface, array class,
710 * primitive type, or void) represented by this {@code Class} object,
711 * as a {@code String}.
712 *
713 * <p> If this class object represents a reference type that is not an
714 * array type then the binary name of the class is returned, as specified
715 * by
716 * <cite>The Java™ Language Specification</cite>.
717 *
718 * <p> If this class object represents a primitive type or void, then the
719 * name returned is a {@code String} equal to the Java language
720 * keyword corresponding to the primitive type or void.
721 *
722 * <p> If this class object represents a class of arrays, then the internal
723 * form of the name consists of the name of the element type preceded by
724 * one or more '{@code [}' characters representing the depth of the array
725 * nesting. The encoding of element type names is as follows:
726 *
727 * <blockquote><table summary="Element types and encodings">

729 * <tr><td> boolean <td> <td style="text-align:center"> Z
730 * <tr><td> byte <td> <td style="text-align:center"> B

739 * </table></blockquote>
740 *
741 * <p> The class or interface name <i>classname</i> is the binary name of
742 * the class specified above.
743 *
744 * <p> Examples:
745 * <blockquote><pre>
746 * String.class.getName()
747 * returns "java.lang.String"
748 * byte.class.getName()
749 * returns "byte"
750 * (new Object[3]).getClass().getName()
751 * returns "[Ljava.lang.Object;"
752 * (new int[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]).getClass().getName()
753 * returns "[[[[[[[I"
