is there a way to check instanceof primitives variables java

Question

We can know object reference is-a test by using instanceof operator. But is there any operator to check primitive types. For example:

byte b = 10;
         


        

Answer 1

If you really want to play with literals...

    if(Byte.class.isInstance(10)) {
        System.out.println("I am an instance of Byte");         
    }
    if(Integer.class.isInstance(10)) {
        System.out.println("Ups, I can also act as an instance of Integer");            
    }
    if(false == Float.class.isInstance(10)) {
        System.out.println("At least I am not a float or double!");         
    }
    if(false == Byte.class.isInstance(1000)) {
        System.out.println("I am too big to be a byte");            
    }
