Returns a Field object that reflects the specified public member field of the class or interface represented by this Class object. The name parameter is a String specifying the simple name of the desired field.

The field to be reflected is determined by the algorithm that follows. Let C be the class or interface represented by this object:

If C declares a public field with the name specified, that is the field to be reflected.
If no field was found in step 1 above, this algorithm is applied recursively to each direct superinterface of C. The direct superinterfaces are searched in the order they were declared.
If no field was found in steps 1 and 2 above, and C has a superclass S, then this algorithm is invoked recursively upon S. If C has no superclass, then a NoSuchFieldException is thrown.

If this Class object represents an array type, then this method does not find the length field of the array type.

Parameters:

name the field name

Returns: the Field object of this class specified by name

Exceptions:

NoSuchFieldException     if a field with the specified name is not found.

NullPointerException     if name is null

SecurityException     If a security manager, s, is present and the caller's class loader is not the same as or an ancestor of the class loader for the current class and invocation of s.checkPackageAccess() denies access to the package of this class.

`NoSuchFieldException`		if a field with the specified name is not found.
`NullPointerException`		if `name` is `null`
`SecurityException`		If a security manager, s, is present and the caller's class loader is not the same as or an ancestor of the class loader for the current class and invocation of `s.checkPackageAccess()` denies access to the package of this class.
