Constructor provides information about, and access to, a single
constructor for a class.

| Executable |
A shared superclass for the common functionality of Method
and Constructor.

A Method provides information about, and access to, a single method
on a class or interface.

Member is an interface that reflects identifying information about
a single member (a field or a method) or a constructor.

Public methods
getDeclaringClass
public abstract Class<?> getDeclaringClass ()
Returns the Class object representing the class or interface
that declares the member or constructor represented by this Member.
| Returns |

an object representing the declaring class of the
underlying member |
getModifiers
public abstract int getModifiers ()

represented by this Member.
| Returns |
|---|
String |
the simple name of the underlying member |
isSynthetic
public abstract boolean isSynthetic ()
Returns true if this member was introduced by
the compiler; returns false otherwise.
| Returns |
|---|
boolean |
true if and only if this member was introduced by
the compiler. |
