Write a Java program to demonstrate the example of instanceof operator.
Submitted by Nidhi, on March 24, 2022
Problem Solution:
In this program, we will check an object of an instance of a particular class or not using "instanceof" operator. It returns the Boolean value true, false.
Program/Source Code:
The source code to demonstrate the "instanceof" operator is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.
// Java program to demonstrate the example of
// "instanceof" operator
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Main m = new Main();
boolean ret = m instanceof Main;
if (ret)
System.out.println("The Object m is an instance of Main class");
else
System.out.println("The Object m is not an instance of Main class");
}
}
Output:
The Object m is an instance of Main class
Explanation:
In the above program, we created a class Main. The Main class contains a method main(). The main() method is an entry point for the program. Here, we created the object m of Main() class and checked 'm' is an instance of class Main or not using the "instanceof" operator and printed the appropriate message.
