What is the difference between instanceof and isInstance



instanceof is used to check to see if an object can be cast into a specified type without throwing a cast class exception.

isInstance() Determines if the specified Object is assignment-compatible with the object represented by this Class.


whether isInstance() belongs to 1.4 or not?



Hope 1.4(not sure)

isInstance() has been part of the Class class since JDK 1.1
