Unchecked Cast Warning when calling 'Class.forName'

Question

My code is as follows

package com.foo;

public class TestComposition {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            Class

        

Answer 1

If you knew the exact class, you wouldn't need to use Class.forName

Class fooClass = Foo.class;

It only makes sense to do this when you don't know the type.
