When you wish to disassemble any class of java. first compile them using javac then call the javap Class Name.Consider the example given below

DisassesmleExample.java

public class DisassesmleExample {
	public int add(int x, int y) {
		return x + y;
	}

	public int substract(int x, int y) {
		return x - y;
	}

	public int multiply(int x, int y) {
		return x * y;
	}
}

Now Compile the aboove class using javac

C:\Java Test>javac DisassesmleExample.java

Now run it using javap as

C:\Java Test>javap DisassesmleExample
Compiled from "DisassesmleExample.java"
public class DisassesmleExample extends java.lang.Object{
public DisassesmleExample();
public int add(int, int);
public int substract(int, int);
public int multiply(int, int);
}
