Can you explain what is meant by reflection in programming?

Reflection in programming is the ability of a program to examine and modify its structure and behavior at runtime. In C#, reflection allows obtaining information about types, methods, properties, and attributes of objects during program execution.

Example of using reflection in C#:

using System;
using System.Reflection;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Type type = typeof(String);
        Console.WriteLine("Methods of the String class:");
        MethodInfo[] methods = type.GetMethods();
        foreach (var method in methods)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(method.Name);
        }
    }
}

This code outputs a list of all methods of the String class. Reflection is useful for dynamically invoking methods, creating objects, and analyzing types without knowing them at compile time.
