If a programmer wants to access entities or invoke methods in a program dynamically, i.e. if the programmer is unaware of the methods and variables that needs to be invoked at runtime but unaware of it while coding, we can use reflection. For example

Method method = ABC.getClass().getMethod("doSomething", null);
method.invoke(ABC, null);
