public final class ClassNewInstance

extends Operator

Implementation of the ClassNewInstance operator. Returns an newly constructed object by invoking a specified constructor.
Input 1: A Class object (or expression that evaluates to a Class) that defines the Class that should be created.
Input 2: A Class[] (or expression that evaluates to a Class[]) that defines the signature of the constructor that should be invoked. If input 2 is null the operator will attempt to deduce the constructor to call from the arguments (input 3).
Input 3: A Object[] (or expression that evaluates to a Object[]) that contains the arguments that should be passed to the constructor.
Returns: A new instance of the class, instantiated with the constructor of the provided signature using the supplied arguments..
