What are the Java equivalents in C # 'is' and 'as'?

Question

The question says it all. Some quick code examples would be nice .. thanks!

Answer 1

is=> instanceof( JLS link ), for example:

Object foo = "hello";
if (foo instanceof String) {
  // Yup, it a string
}

In Java, there is no equivalent to the C # operator as.

Answer 2

is(C #) → instanceof(Java)

And you do not get the direct equivalent as. You could try this liner though:

SomeParentType obj = 
    original instanceof Child ? (SomeParentType)original : null;
