# Uses of Class
java.lang.reflect.Constructor

Packages that use Constructor
Package | Description
--- | ---
java.lang | Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java programming language.
java.lang.invoke | The `java.lang.invoke` package provides low-level primitives for interacting with the Java Virtual Machine.
java.lang.reflect | Provides classes and interfaces for obtaining reflective information about classes and objects.
javax.management | Provides the core classes for the Java Management Extensions.
javax.management.modelmbean | Provides the definition of the ModelMBean classes.
jdk.dynalink.linker.support | Contains classes that make it more convenient for language runtimes to implement their own language-specific object models and type conversions by providing basic implementations of some classes as well as various utilities.

## Uses of Constructor in java.lang

Methods in java.lang that return Constructor
Modifier and Type | Method | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Constructor<T>` | Class.`getConstructor​(Class<?>... parameterTypes)` | Returns a `Constructor` object that reflects the specified public constructor of the class represented by this `Class` object.
`Constructor<?>[]` | Class.`getConstructors()` | Returns an array containing `Constructor` objects reflecting all the public constructors of the class represented by this `Class` object.
`Constructor<T>` | Class.`getDeclaredConstructor​(Class<?>... parameterTypes)` | Returns a `Constructor` object that reflects the specified constructor of the class or interface represented by this `Class` object.
`Constructor<?>[]` | Class.`getDeclaredConstructors()` | Returns an array of `Constructor` objects reflecting all the constructors declared by the class represented by this `Class` object.
`Constructor<?>` | Class.`getEnclosingConstructor()` | If this `Class` object represents a local or anonymous class within a constructor, returns a `Constructor` object representing the immediately enclosing constructor of the underlying class.

## Uses of Constructor in java.lang.invoke

## Uses of Constructor in java.lang.reflect

Methods in java.lang.reflect that return types with arguments of type Constructor
Modifier and Type | Method | Description
--- | --- | ---
`TypeVariable<Constructor<T>>[]` | Constructor.`getTypeParameters()` | Returns an array of `TypeVariable` objects that represent the type variables declared by the generic declaration represented by this `GenericDeclaration` object, in declaration order.
