Is there any way of detecting if there is an perticular inherited class within an array of a class which said perticular class is derived from ?

Question

For instance:
We have an array of the type Fruit
Is there a way to check if inside that array is an object of the type Apple
Note: Apple is derived from Fruit
public class Apple : Fruit {}

Answer 1

To check if the an object inherited from base class .Try to access the property or method of the base class. In this case , apple.fruitpropety or apple . fruitmethod , if you can access them that means apple inherited from fruit.

Answer 2

You can iterate through fruit array and check element is apple or not like

If(fruitarray[i] is Apple)
// your code if its an apple

Answer 3

Can't i just type "if(X is Apple){}" where x is an apple class
