swift-如何检查特定的viewController是否为先前的viewController

Question

I am trying to detect if my previous viewController is one specific and if it is when i press back it will load the tabBar controller. I am changing view controllers with revealViewController here is my code : here i save the previous view controller:

let newVC = 
self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: 
storyboardIdentifiers.newViewControllerID) as! newViewController         
newVC.previousVC = self
self.revealViewController().setFront(newVC, animated: true)

this is my back action where i need to check if previous is the first viewController

func backAction() {
let first  = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: storyboardIdentifiers.firstViewControllerID) as! firstViewController
let second = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: storyboardIdentifiers.secondViewControllerID) as! secondViewController

if previousVC  ==  first || previousVC == second {
            previousVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: storyboardIdentifiers.revealViewControllerID) as! SWRevealViewController
self.revealViewController().setFront(previousVC, animated: true) 
}
else {
 self.revealViewController().setFront(previousVC, animated: true)
}

but when i press back it doesn't detect that it is from one of these view controllers.

when i print "self" it gives me this result

<MyPackege.firstViewController: 0x7f9e80f2b5a0>

but it doesn't load the TabBarController

Instead of using == operator try using isKind(of: ) method to check the type of viewcontroller

func backAction() {
let first  = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: storyboardIdentifiers.firstViewControllerID) as! firstViewController
let second = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: storyboardIdentifiers.secondViewControllerID) as! secondViewController

if previousVC.isKind(of:firstViewController ) || previousVC.isKind(of:secondViewController ) {
            previousVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: storyboardIdentifiers.revealViewControllerID) as! SWRevealViewController
self.revealViewController().setFront(previousVC, animated: true) 
}
else {
 self.revealViewController().setFront(previousVC, animated: true)
}
