  - isInnerClass
```
public static boolean isInnerClass(java.lang.Class<?> clazz)
```
    Determine if the supplied class is an inner class (i.e., a non-static member class).
    Technically speaking (i.e., according to the Java Language Specification), "an inner class may be a non-static member class, a local class, or an anonymous class." However, this method does not return true for a local or anonymous class.
    
    Parameters:
    
    clazz - the class to check; never null
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the class is an inner class
  - returnsVoid
```
public static boolean returnsVoid(java.lang.reflect.Method method)
```
  - isArray
```
public static boolean isArray(java.lang.Object obj)
```
    Determine if the supplied object is an array.
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the object to test; potentially null
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the object is an array
  - isMultidimensionalArray
```
@API(status=INTERNAL,
     since="1.3.2")
public static boolean isMultidimensionalArray(java.lang.Object obj)
```
    Determine if the supplied object is a multidimensional array.
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the object to test; potentially null
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the object is a multidimensional array
    
    Since:
    
    1.3.2
  - isAssignableTo
```
public static boolean isAssignableTo(java.lang.Object obj,
                                     java.lang.Class<?> targetType)
```
    Determine if the supplied object can be assigned to the supplied target type for the purpose of reflective method invocations.
    In contrast to Class.isInstance(Object), this method returns true if the target type represents a primitive type whose wrapper matches the supplied object's type. In addition, this method also supports widening conversions for primitive types and their corresponding wrapper types.
    If the supplied object is null and the supplied type does not represent a primitive type, this method returns true.
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the object to test for assignment compatibility; potentially null
    
    targetType - the type to check against; never null
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the object is assignment compatible

    Class.isInstance(Object), Class.isAssignableFrom(Class)
  - getWrapperType
```
public static java.lang.Class<?> getWrapperType(java.lang.Class<?> type)
```
    Get the wrapper type for the supplied primitive type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - the primitive type for which to retrieve the wrapper type
    
    Returns:
    
    the corresponding wrapper type or null if the supplied type is null or not a primitive type
  - newInstance
```
public static <T> T newInstance(java.lang.Class<T> clazz,
                                java.lang.Object... args)

                                java.lang.Object... args)
```
    Create a new instance of type T by invoking the supplied constructor with the supplied arguments.
    The constructor will be made accessible if necessary, and any checked exception will be masked as an unchecked exception.
    
    Parameters:
    
    constructor - the constructor to invoke; never null
    
    args - the arguments to pass to the constructor
    
    Returns:
    
    the new instance; never null
