get type of NSNumber

Question

I want to get the type of NSNumber instance.

I found out on http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?NSNumber this:

 NSNumber *myNum = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithB

If all you want is to differentiate between booleans and anything else, you can make use of the fact that boolean NSNumbers always return a shared instance:

NSNumber *num = ...;
if (num == (void*)kCFBooleanFalse || num == (void*)kCFBooleanTrue) {
   // num is boolean
} else {
   // num is not boolean
}
