The problem is that 'instanceof' does not take an expression on its Right
Hand Side, rather it must be a class specifier.

So this:

Class c = anObject.getClass();
boolean b = anObject instanceof c;

does not compile.

However, this SHOULD work:

Class c = anObject.getClass();
boolean b = c.isInstance(anObject);

I think that's what he wants. (I haven't tested this).
