Question

Suppose I have an array of class values in Java and I want to iterate through the array to find at which position is located a Double.
I tried the following:

public class ClassTypes {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Class []types = {String.class, Double.class};
        for (int i = 0 ; i < types.length; i++)
        {
                if (types[i].isInstance(Double.class)){
                    System.out.println("DOUBLE"); //never printed 
                }
        }
    }}

I have no instance of an object so I can’t use instanceof, and I would like to avoid the use of getName on class object to perform the comparison.
Can anyone suggest me how to do it?

Answer 1

types[i].equals(Double.class)?
