Example
Check whether an object is an instance of a specific class:
java
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Main myObj = new Main();
System.out.println(myObj instanceof Main); // returns true
}
}
Definition and Usage
The instanceof keyword checks whether an object is an instance of a specific class or an interface.
The instanceof keyword compares the instance with type. The return value is either true or false.
