Why is the following code, which assumes

is a subclass of

Question,

considered poor strategy?

if $($q instanceof ChoiceQuestion$)$

$\{$

$//$ Do the task the ChoiceQuestion way

$\}$

else if $($q instanceof Question$)$

$\{$

$\}$

$//$ Do the task the Question way

should be the subclass, not the other way around.

the instanceof reserved word should only be used in a class constructor.

should not be used for type tests that can be solved by using polymorphism.

is not an operator but rather a method.
