I want my Java code to print itself. For example:

System.out.println("My code is:" + SomehowStringify((int x, int y)  -> x + y))

My code is: (int x, int y) -> x + y)

Is this possible in any way?

Change `SomehowStringify(` to `"` and `)` to `"`. – Elliott Frisch Nov 27 '22 at 18:16

No, not without cheating. The Java source code is not retained when the code is compiled to byte code, so you can't print the source. – ewramner Nov 27 '22 at 18:19
