Object looping on different type of data

Question

I am new to Java. I have a List of objects, that contains both strings and arrays.

List eg [["alfa","beta",["gamma","pi"], "foo"], ["alfa","beta",["gamma","pi"], "foo"]] where one object is ["alfa","beta",["gamma","pi"], "foo"]

I want to iterate like: "alfa" "beta" ["gamma", "pi"] "foo" ---- end----- –

How should I do that?

You could possibly try something like

for (Object object : listName) {
        if(object.getClass() == String.class){
            //do whatever string operations you want
        } else{
            if(object.getClass() == String[].class){
                //do whatever string array operations you want
            }
        }
    }
