java - Is there any way to know the type of an Object? -

the scenario passing object parameter in method , want perform operations based on type of object within method.

sample code is:

method(object object){  //if object== string type print string     }

try

if (object.getclass().getname().equals("class1name"))     //do something.

the advantage of getclass instead of instanceof not need know class type @ compile time.
