Java Method类及invoke方法原理解析

public class MethodInvoke {
 
 class Animal {
  public void print() {
   System.out.println("Animal.print()");
  }
 }

 class Cat extends Animal {

  @Override
  public void print() {
   System.out.println("Cat.print()");
  }
 }
 
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		Method animalMethod = Animal.class.getDeclaredMethod("print");
		Method catMethod = Cat.class.getDeclaredMethod("print");
		
		Animal animal = new Animal();
		Cat cat = new Cat();
		animalMethod.invoke(cat); //相当于 cat调用父类的print方法
		animalMethod.invoke(animal);//相当于 animal.print();
		
		catMethod.invoke(cat); //相当于 cat.print();
		catMethod.invoke(animal);
	}
	
}

Cat.print()
Animal.print()
Cat.print()
