Check if a object is a instance of a class (but not a instance of its subclass)

Question

For this example:

public class Foo{}

public class Bar extends Foo{}

....

void myMethod(Foo qux){
   if (checkInstance(qux,Foo.class)){
     ....
   }
}
         


        

Answer 1

If you are looking for exact class match the only means is qux.getClass().equals(Foo.class). instanceof will also return true for subclasses.
