Hi! I'm trying to create a class that accepts a class parameter and its print function prints the name of provided class.

class A<T>(val t: T) {
    fun print() {
        println(t!!::class.java.simpleName)
    }
}

class B {}

fun main() {
   val b = B()
   A(b).print()
}

The output is

B

But in this scenario, I had to construct B first, and then pass it as a parameter.
I don't want this, I want my class to be modified to accept a class parameter instead so that I can run it like.

fun main() {
    A(B::class).print()
}

What I have tried:

I have tried to print the name of the class by passing that class inside another class and using class.java.simpleName property, I tried to print its name. But in my scenario, i always need to construct that class to pass that class in it. how can i achieve, what could be the syntax of my class so it will accept my class.
