java类的比较,在Java中比较类类型

I want to compare the class type in Java.

I thought I could do this:

class MyObject_1 {}

class MyObject_2 extends MyObject_1 {}

public boolean function(MyObject_1 obj) {

if(obj.getClass() == MyObject_2.class) System.out.println("true");

}

I wanted to compare in case if the obj passed into the function was extended from MyObject_1 or not.

But this doesn't work. It seems like the getClass() method and the .class gives different type of information.

How can I compare two class type, without having to create another dummy object just to compare the class type?

解决方案

Try this:

MyObject obj = new MyObject();

if(obj instanceof MyObject){System.out.println("true");} //true

Because of inheritance this is valid for interfaces, too:

class Animal {}

class Dog extends Animal {}

Dog obj = new Dog();

Animal animal = new Dog();

if(obj instanceof Animal){System.out.println("true");} //true

if(animal instanceof Animal){System.out.println("true");} //true

if(animal instanceof Dog){System.out.println("true");} //true
