Java typeof Object

Java does not have typeof operator but there’s the instanceof operator to check the types.

The instanceof operator is used to determine if the array item is an Integer or a String . For strings, you must first narrow the Object to string (see line 8 in the source code) and then use the parseInt method of the Integer class (line 9).

The java “instanceof” operator is used to test whether the object is an instance of the specified type (class or subclass or interface). It is also known as type comparison operator because it compares the instance with type. It returns either true or false.
