Unit 1 Reflection

Choose one idea that changed how you read a Java program.

Explain it using a specific code example from your work. Your answer should distinguish at least two of these layers:

• source code;
• compilation;
• JVM/runtime execution;
• program state;
• observable output.

Then name one prediction you got wrong and explain what the actual execution revealed. A useful reflection is about the model you corrected, not whether the mistake felt easy or hard.
