Look at the source code for Modifier.isStatic(...) for an example. Did you try the code? It has a missing parenthesis so this should be correct: ```java final int mod = method.getModifiers(); if ((mod & (Modifier.STATIC | Modifier.FINAL | Modifier.PRIVATE)) != 0) { return false; } if ((mod & (Modifier.PUBLIC | Modifier.PROTECTED)) != 0) { return true; } // default scope: the package must be the same to allow override return getPackageName(method.getDeclaringClass()).equals(getPackageName(cls)); ``` ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
