Hi,
As far as I can tell, Java does not seem to provide any mechanism for
manipulating methods in ways similar to Objects (i.e. passing them about
as one would with pointers to functions in C). Is this correct?
I'd be interested to find out why this feature was not included in the
language design as being able to work with functions/methods in this
does seem to be a pretty common thing. Why not have a Method class?
Of course, I've got a _bad_ feeling that maybe I'm missing something
obvious ;-}
Cheers
Alan
