Check attribute of a subclass

Question

I stumbled across that situation but I don\'t know how to handle it the right way:

class Myclass { }
class MyclassWithAwesomeStuff extends Myclass {
    public b         


        

Answer 1

Test if m is a MyclassWithAwesomeStuff with the instanceof operator.

if (m instanceof MyclassWithAwesomeStuff)
{
    MyclassWithAwesomeStuff mwas = (MyclassWithAwesomeStuff) m;
    // Now you can access "awesomeStuff" with "mwas"
}
