How to find if a class is super class of my class instance

I have tried and failed to find a way in Pharo to find if a specific class instance has specific class as super class. By super class I am not referring only on the class that is a subclass of, but also all other classes that are up its inheritance line.

I thought that there would be a message in Object >> isSubclassOf: but alas i cant located such message

Solution

  • I'm not clearly sure what do you want to find, but if you want to see if anObject is and instance of aClass or it's superclasses, you can use:

    anObject isKindOf: aClass

    If you want to see if anObject (class) inherits from aClass, then you use:

    anObject inheritsFrom: aClass
