• • The instance is an object reference operator and returns a Boolean value that is true or false if the object on the left-hand side is an instance of the class given on the right-hand side.
• • This operator allows us to determine whether the object belongs to a particular class or not.

Example:

name instanceof String Is true if the object person belongs to the class employee, otherwise it is false.

class InstanceDemo
{
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		String name="Tapuuu";
		boolean x=name instanceof String;
		System.out.println(x);
	}
}

Output :

true
