Explain about instanceof operator in java
An instanceof in Java is a comparison operator which, given an object instance, checks whether that instance is of a specified type (class/sub-class/interface) or not. Just like other comparison operators, it returns true or false. Comparing any object instance with a null type through instanceof operator returns a false. Instanceof operator is used to test the object is of which type. Syntax : <reference expression> instanceof &lt;destination type> Instanceof returns true if reference expression is subtype of destination type. Instanceof returns false if reference expression is null.
