Getting name of the class from an instance

Question

Hi everyone

I have the following problem: I get an instance of a class passed and want to know the name of the class of this instance. Any guess how to get this?

Thank you very much!

Answer 1

NSStringFromClass([instance class]) should do the trick.

Answer 2

if all you want to do is test an object to see if it's a type of a certain Class

BOOL test = [self isKindOfClass:[SomeClass class]];
