I don't understand Reflection in C#

Question

On MSDN Reflection is explained as "You can use reflection to dynamically create an instance of a type, bind the type to an existing object, or get the type from an existing object and invoke its methods or access its fields and properties. "

 

 

 As an example they have stated: 

 

int i = 42; 

System.Type type = i.GetType(); 

System.Console.WriteLine(type); 

 

 

If I am not wrong according to definition they have dynamically create 'type' object here and stored 'i.GetType()' return value in type. Is that what's reflection?
