In code example, the returned object from nameField.get(maria) needs to be cast to String #283

In Learn Java > Mastering the API Reflection and Method Handles > The Reflection API > Reading and Writing Fields, section Getting and Setting Field Values, there needs to be a cast in order to avoid the error "incompatible types: Object cannot be converted to String".

So,

String name = nameField.get(maria);

needs to be

String name = (String) nameField.get(maria);
