Type pattern

When using the type pattern to perform pattern matching, is tests whether an expression can be converted to a specified type and, if it can be, casts it to a variable of that type. It is a straightforward extension of the is statement that enables concise type evaluation and conversion. The general form of the is type pattern is:

expr is type varname 

where expr is an expression that evaluates to an instance of some type, type is the name of the type to which the result of expr is to be converted, and varname is the object to which the result of expr is converted if the is test is true.

The is expression is true if any of the following is true:

• expr is an instance of the same type as type.

• expr is an instance of a type that derives from type. In other words, the result of expr can be upcast to an instance of type.

• expr has a compile-time type that is a base class of type, and expr has a runtime type that is type or is derived from type. The compile-time type of a variable is the variable's type as defined in its declaration. The runtime type of a variable is the type of the instance that is assigned to that variable.

• expr is an instance of a type that implements the type interface.

If exp is true and is is used with an if statement, varname is assigned and has local scope within the if statement only.
