How to use multiple subclasses for function parameter

Say I have 2 subclasses of a class but would like to pass either of those subclasses to a function and determine its type within the function how would that be done?

class ParentClass {
  ...
}

class subClass1: ParentClass {
 ...
}

class subClass2: ParentClass {
 ...
}

function getClassType(type: ParentClass) {
   return(type)
}

viewDidLoad...
getClassType(type: subClass2())
Solution

    The way to check if an object is op type is with the is keywoard: 

    if type is subClass1 {
    // Do stuff
}
