Hello
I have a method which compares if an object is an instance of an
Integer. However, I want to make that method so that I can check if it
is an Integer or a String. What I mean is that when I call my method
nodeType, I pass in (node, node, String or Integer) and accordingly it
will check if it is an instance or not. However, if I just send in
(node, node, Integer), it says that Integer is invalid. Is there any
way without creating another method to check if it is a string and an
Integer.
Thanks
Shahid
My method:
public boolean nodeType (Node a, Node b) {
boolean left = a.value() instanceof Integer;
System.out.println ("left: " + left);
boolean right = b.value() instanceof Integer;
System.out.println ("right: " + right);
if (left && right)
return true;
else
return false;
}
