                parent = parent.getSuperclass();
            }

            // production code should handle this exception more gracefully
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException x) {
            x.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    private static void printMethods(Class c) {

            for (Method m : meths)
                out.format("  Method:  %s%n", m.toGenericString());
        } else {
            out.format("  -- no methods --%n");
        }
