• A Java interface is a collection of abstract S
methods and
constants
• An abstract method is a method header without a
method body
• An abstract method can be declared using the modifier
abstract, but because all methods in an interface are
abstract, usually it is left off
• An interface is used to establish a set of methods that a
class will implement
Interfaces
interface is a reserved word
None of the methods in
an interface are given
public interface Doable a definition (body)
{
public void doThis();
public int doThat();
public void doThis2 (float value, char ch);
public boolean doTheOther (int num);
}

A semicolon immediately
follows each method header
Interfaces
.An interface cannot be instantiated
.Methods in an interface have public visibility by default
.A class formally implements an interface by:
◦ stating so in the class header
◦ providing implementations for each abstract method in the
interface

.If a class asserts that it implements an interface, it must

define all methods in the interface
Comparison with Inheritance
.Interfaces don’t define any method actions… you need to fill in all the details
.It essentially just gives a basic collection of method names
.Not a strict hierarchy
.Important: can implement several Interfaces
.Can use this to “fake” multiple inheritance
