oclIsKindOf( typespec : Class ) : Boolean
Returns true if the type of self corresponds to the type or supertype of typespec - otherwise, returns false. This operation allows users to check the class hierarchy of self much like they would an instance of Java.
Expression | Result |
---|---|
anEmployee.oclIsKindOf(Employee) | true |
anEmployee.oclIsKindOf(Person) | true |
aCat.oclIsKindOf(Person) | false |
To check if an object has the exact type and not only inherits a type use OCLOperators oclIsTypeOf
