instanceof是Java的一個二元操作符（運算符）,也是Java的保留關鍵字。它的作用是判斷其左邊對象是否為其右邊類的實例，返回的是boolean類型的數據。用它來判斷某個對象是否是某個Class類的實例。
用法：
boolean result = object instanceof class
參數：
result ：boolean類型。
object ：必選項。任意對象表達式。
class：必選項。任意已定義的對象類。
說明：
如果該object 是該class的一個實例，那么返回true。如果該object 不是該class的一個實例，或者object是null，則返回false。
例子：
package com.instanceoftest;
interface A { }
class B implements A { } //B是A的實現
class C extends B { } //C繼承B
class D { }
class instanceoftest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
A a = null;
B b = null;
boolean res;
System.out.println("instanceoftest test case 1: ------------------");
res = a instanceof A;
System.out.println("a instanceof A: " + res); // a instanceof A:false
res = b instanceof B;
System.out.println("b instanceof B: " + res); // b instanceof B: false
res = b instanceof B;
System.out.println("b instanceof B: " + res); // b instanceof B: false
System.out.println("\ninstanceoftest test case 2: ------------------");
a = new B();
b = new B();
res = a instanceof A;
System.out.println("a instanceof A: " + res); // a instanceof A:true
res = a instanceof B;
System.out.println("a instanceof B: " + res); // a instanceof B:true
res = b instanceof A;
System.out.println("b instanceof A: " + res); // b instanceof A:true
res = b instanceof B;
System.out.println("b instanceof B: " + res); // b instanceof B:true
System.out.println("\ninstanceoftest test case 3: ------------------");
B b2 = new C();
res = b2 instanceof A;
System.out.println("b2 instanceof A: " + res); // b2 instanceof A:true
res = b2 instanceof B;
System.out.println("b2 instanceof B: " + res); // b2 instanceof A:true
res = b2 instanceof C;
System.out.println("b2 instanceof C: " + res); // b2 instanceof A:true
System.out.println("\ninstanceoftest test case 4: ------------------");
D d = new D();
res = d instanceof A;
System.out.println("d instanceof A: " + res); // d instanceof A:false
res = d instanceof B;
System.out.println("d instanceof B: " + res); // d instanceof B:false
res = d instanceof C;
System.out.println("d instanceof C: " + res); // d instanceof C:false
res = d instanceof D;
System.out.println("d instanceof D: " + res); // d instanceof D:true
}
