Instanceof Enhancement

Before Java 16, To type cast from super class to sub class type, We first need to check with  'instanceof ' operator to know underlying object type to avoid exception.

Object stringObj = "Fullstack Adda";

if (stringObj instanceof String) {

String string = (String) stringObj;

System.out.println(string);

}

Output:

Fullstack Adda

The above code can be written as follows.

Object stringObj = "Fullstack Adda";

if (stringObj instanceof String string) {

System.out.println(string);

}

Output:

Fullstack Adda

This enhancement helps to reduce the code statements.

 Happy Coding 😃
