Java – is there any way to know the type of object?

The scheme is that I pass an object as a parameter in the method, and I want to perform the operation according to the type of the object in the method

The sample code is:

method(Object object){

//if object== String type print string   
 }

Solution

attempt

if (object.getClass().getName().equals("Class1Name"))
    //do something.

The advantage of getClass instead of instanceof is that you don't need to know the class type at compile time
