Checking if a Class object is a subtype of another Class object in Java?
class, inheritance, java
Solution
if (clazz1.isAssignableFrom(clazz2)) {
// do stuff
}
This checks if `clazz1` is the same, or a superclass of `clazz2`.
Problem
Let's say I have two `Class` objects. Is there a way to check whether one class is a subtype of the other? ``` public class Class1 { ... } public class Class2 extends Class1 { ... } public class Main { Class<?> clazz1 = Class1.class; Class<?> clazz2 = Class2.class; // If clazz2 is a subtype of clazz1, do something. } ```
