instanceof Java Keyword Tutorial | What's new? смотреть онлайн

Learn what's new with the Java 14 instanceof operator. Java 14 now supports Pattern Matching as a preview feature when using the instanceof operator... but Hold Up! A word of caution before blindly using this new features in your code.

The instanceof operator in Java 14 has been extended to allow for what's called a "test type pattern" which allows for Pattern Matching to be used. This test type pattern is a combination of a predicate that specifies a Type (like instanceof Type) and a binding variable (that's what is new here).

No more explicit casting and no more declaration of local variables, less boilerplate code .. great! Just be aware that there are some scoping rules with the new binding variable that are well described in the JEP 305 .

Although Java 14's new instanceof feature is great, we should remember that sometimes using instanceof can be considered a code smell or an anti-pattern. I will cover when to use and not use instanceof as well as offer some alternatives.
