instanceOf() is an operator used to find out whether an object is of instance of certain class or not

eg: String str=new String(); //here str is an object of String class
Sop(str.instanceOf(String));// returns true

int a[]=new int[10];

Sop(a.instanceOf(Object)); also returns true.bydefault all the array are the child of Object class

getClass() returns an object of Class type which is used to hold the .class file at the runtime itself
