Method Class | isDefault() Method in Java

The java.lang.reflect.Method.isDefault() method is used to check whether the method of the Method object is a Default Method: or not. It returns true if method object is a default method, otherwise it will return false.

Default Method: A public non-abstract on-static method with a body declared in an interface type.

Syntax:



public boolean isDefault()

Return Value: This method returns a boolean value. It returns true if method object is a default method by JVM Specifications, else false.

Below program illustrates isDefault() method of Method class:

Example 1:

filter_none
