Question

java-code XSSFRow row = sheet.getRow(p);
clojure-code (def row (.getRow sheet p))
How do we make sure that row is of type XSSFRow ?

Answer 1

Clojure is dynamically typed, so the type of a var/value is determined at runtime.

If you want to make sure a value is of a certain class, you could make the following assertion:

(assert (= (class row) XSSFRow))

Or, more concisely (thanks to opqdonut):

(assert (instance? XSSFRow row))

This does not check for exact class, but for any superclass:

(instance? Object row) ;=> true
