if self.dynamicType == SArray.self
{
print("Test1 \(self.dynamicType) is a subclass of SArray")
}
else
{
print("Test1 \(self.dynamicType) is NOT subclass of SArray")
}
prints: Test1 SArray2 is NOT subclass of SArray
Not quite what I expected.
But this works:
if self.dynamicType == SArray1.self || self.dynamicType == SArray2.self ||
self.dynamicType == SArray3.self
{
print("Test2 \(self.dynamicType) is a subclass of SArray")
}
else
{
print("Test2 \(self.dynamicType) is NOT subclass of SArray")
}
prints: Test2 SArray2 is a subclass of SArray
The only problem: It is kind of fragile. When I create a new class SArray5 then
I must remember to fix this test.
I would much prefer to have the semantics of “isKindOf”.
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
