713 * Returns the name of the entity (class, interface, array class,

717 * <p> If this class object represents a reference type that is not an

719 * by
720 * <cite>The Java™ Language Specification</cite>.
721 *
722 * <p> If this class object represents a primitive type or void, then the
723 * name returned is a {@code String} equal to the Java language
724 * keyword corresponding to the primitive type or void.
725 *
726 * <p> If this class object represents a class of arrays, then the internal
727 * form of the name consists of the name of the element type preceded by
728 * one or more '{@code [}' characters representing the depth of the array
729 * nesting. The encoding of element type names is as follows:
