Coincidentally, there is a similarity at the beginning of your question.

Try to compile a sample program with those words in order to understand the difference

Unfortunately method should be instanceOf but it is instanceof

Another method is mkDir() which is actually mkdir().

instanceof is an operator,not a method

also,mkdir was named after the linux of the same name,which does the exact same job as this method,creating directories
