import java.util.logging.LogRecord;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Create LogRecord object
        LogRecord logRecord = new LogRecord(
            Level.parse("800"),
            "Hi Logger");
        logRecord.setSourceClassName(
            String.class.getName());

        // get source class name
        String sourceClass
            = logRecord.getSourceClassName();

        // print the class name
        System.out.println(
