Check whether an object is an NSArray or NSDictionary

Question

As per subject, how can I check whether an object is an NSArray or NSDictionary?

Answer 1

Try

[myObject isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]]

and

[myObject isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]

Both of these should return BOOL values. This is basic use of the NSObject method:

-(BOOL)isKindOfClass:(Class)aClass
