How to invoke a method using Method class in Reflection API of Java ?

Program to demonstrate method invocation in Java using Method class in Reflection API

package com.hubberspot.example;

   public int add(int num1, int num2) {

 return num1 * num2;
   }

   public double division(int num1, int num2) {
 return num1 / num2;
