How to get the name of browser using Web Driver

Is there any method or any way to get the name of browser using Web Driver?
public class JsExecute
{
WebDriver driver;
JavascriptExecutor js;
@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception
{
driver=new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
}
@Test
public void test()
{
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
System.out.println(js.executeScript("return navigator.appCodeName"));
}}
OR
String s = (String) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return navigator.userAgent;");
System.out.println("Browser name : " + s);

    Hi Ruchi,
    The above program is giving output as Mozilla for every browser..

    Try this
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\webdriver\\Browser Drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
    WebDriver wd=new ChromeDriver();
    //WebDriver wd= new FirefoxDriver();
    wd.get("http://www.google.com");
    //JavascriptExecutor js=(JavascriptExecutor)wd;
    //System.out.println(js.executeScript("return navigator.appName"));

    Capabilities cap=((RemoteWebDriver) wd).getCapabilities();
    String browsername=cap.getBrowserName();
    String browserversion=cap.getVersion();
    System.out.println(browsername+ " " +browserversion);
    wd.close();
    }
