A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Is there a way to pass the right hand side of `{SomeObject} is {SomeClass}` as a parameter? I am trying to perform type checking inside a function where the type to check for meeds to be passed as an argument. Any way to achieve this?

You can pass someClass: KClass&lt;*&gt; and use it `someClass.isInstance({SomeObject})`

That syntax doesn't seem right. And I have already tried with KClass but the parameter is not usable as RHS of `is` keyword.

if you want to use a "variable" RHS to `is`, it must be a reified type parameter to an inline function

<https://kotlinlang.org/docs/inline-functions.html#reified-type-parameters>

but for most purposes, I recommend that you write a function taking `fun f(t: KClass&lt;T&gt;)` and leave `inline fun &lt;reified T: Any&gt; f() = f(T::class)` as a convenience wrapper only

yes, `isInstance` is different syntax than `is`, but `inline` should be used judiciously to avoid excessive duplication of bytecode

I am just trying to improve readability by shifting the type check behind an appropriately named function. The inline function will only have type check and function invocation if it fails.

sure, just my recommendation and that sounds fine
