    Default Simple question about a small program

    Hello java members this is my first post as u can see so i have been confused with this small part of code.Its a question i got to answer from school.Here is the part of code

    interface Interface1 { … }
    interface Interface2 {…}
    interface Interface3 extends Interface2{ … }

    class Class1 implements Interface1 { … }
    class Class2 implements Interface3 { … }
    class Class3 extends Class2{ … }

    Class1 a = new Class1(); Class2 b = new Class2(); Class3 c = new Class3();

    Which of the following expressions is correct?

    1. Class1 instanceof Interface2
    2. Class2 instanceof Interface3

    Try writing a small program that uses instanceof to test which statements are true.
    For example:
            String str = "ss";
            System.out.println(str instanceof String);
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    If it helps, look at each possible answer and backtrack it through the code. Working backwards might help you from getting confused.
