    `static int` | `PUBLIC` Identifies the set of all public members of a class or interface, including inherited members.

  - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `Class<?>` | `getDeclaringClass()` Returns the Class object representing the class or interface that declares the member or constructor represented by this Member.
    `int` | `getModifiers()` Returns the Java language modifiers for the member or constructor represented by this Member, as an integer.
    `String` | `getName()` Returns the simple name of the underlying member or constructor represented by this Member.
    `boolean` | `isSynthetic()` Returns `true` if this member was introduced by the compiler; returns `false` otherwise.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getDeclaringClass

          Class<?> getDeclaringClass()

      Returns the Class object representing the class or interface that declares the member or constructor represented by this Member.
      Returns:
        an object representing the declaring class of the underlying member

    - #### getName

          String getName()

      Returns the simple name of the underlying member or constructor represented by this Member.
      Returns:
        the simple name of the underlying member

    - #### getModifiers

          int getModifiers()

      Returns the Java language modifiers for the member or constructor represented by this Member, as an integer. The Modifier class should be used to decode the modifiers in the integer.
      Returns:
        the Java language modifiers for the underlying member
      See Also:
        `Modifier`

    - #### isSynthetic

          boolean isSynthetic()
