instanceof grammar
 
Compares the type of the object on the left to the type name supplied on the right and results in a non-zero value if they are the same and zero otherwise. Its usage description can be summarized as follows:
Expression:
	UnaryExpression instanceof name
 
 Example:   Some instances of instanceof are shown below:
import yoix.stdio.*;

if (5 instanceof int)
     puts("5 is an int");
else
     puts("5 is not an int");

String name = "Fripp";

if (name instanceof String)
     puts("name is a String");
else
     puts("name is not a String");
with the resulting output:
5 is an int
name is a String
