}

class Vehicle {
}

class Car extends Vehicle implements DriveCar {
}

class MotorCycle extends Vehicle {
}

interface DriveCar {

运行结果：

vehicle instanceof Vehicle: true
car instanceof Vehicle: true
car instanceof Car: true
car instanceof DriveCar: true
moto instanceof Vehicle: true
moto instanceof MotorCycle: true
vehicle instanceof Car: false
vehicle instanceof DriveCar: false
moto instanceof DriveCar: false
(car=null) instanceof Vehicle: false
(car=null) instanceof Car: false
