fun isParentHasType(type: Class<*>, value: Any): Any {
    val assignableFrom = type::class.java.isAssignableFrom(value::class.java)
    return assignableFrom
}


open class A

open class B : A()

open class C : B()

fun main() {
    val c = C()
    val parentOfType = isParentHasType(A::class.java, c)
    val parentHasType2 = isParentHasType(c::class.java, A())
    println(parentHasType2)
    println(parentOfType)
}

In both these cases I get false returned from isParentHasType function. What’s wrong with my code?

[apsaliya]

your isParentHasType doesn't look correct. you are taking Class<*> as parameter type and then using class type of that variable so essentially calling isAssignableFrom on Class<Class<*>>

think you want this

fun isParentHasType(type: Class<*>, value: Any): Any {
    val assignableFrom = type.isAssignableFrom(value::class.java)
    return assignableFrom
}
