Dart see if Instance of type inherits from other type

Question

class a {/*code*/}
class b extends a {/*more code*/}
void main() {
  b c = new b();
  print(c.runtimeType == a); //type == inheritedType
  //or
  print(c.runtimeType inherits a); //operator for inheritance
  //or
  print(c inherits a); //other operator for inheritance
}

Can you use type == inheriting type, type inherits other type, or instance inherits other type or type? Is there even a way to do such thing? Because I have not found any way yet.

Answer 1

Use is.

You can do c is a. Notice that new a() is a is true as well. If you really want to know if an instance is a subtype of another type, you might ask c is a && c.runtimeType != a.
