How can I find out objectType of Account

Question

I have the following code :

Schema.SObjectType objectType = sObjects.get(0).getSObjectType();

I'm trying to write an IF statement to check if the result of objectType is specific object such as Account.

I have written something like this :

if(objectType == Schema.SObjectType.Account)

But this does not work with the Following Error :

Comparison arguments must be compatible types: Schema.SObjectType, Schema.DescribeSObjectResult

So My question is what Comparison argument should i use to validate 'Account' object results? Thanks for any quick help..

Answer 1

To get sObjectType of Account, comparison statement in above code should be changed to if(objectType == Schema.Account.sObjectType)

Answer 2

I go even more brief:

if (objectType == Account.sObjectType)

Only downside is it won't work if you have a variable named Account.

Answer 3

Assuming a is an sObject, for Account, you could do something like this:

if('account` == String.valueOf(a.getSobjectType()).toLowerCase())
