Experiment No: 5
Title: Use of Interface

Aim and Objective of the Experiment:

Learn the how to use Interfaces

COs to be achieved:
CO2: Understand concepts of Object Oriented Programming and basic characteristics of Java.

Tools used: Visual Studio Code Editor, Codeblock Vlabs

Theory:
1. (About Interfaces)

Code:
1. Write a program to design interface named stack with the following methods
a. push and pop elements from the stack
interface Stack {
void push(int item);
int pop();
boolean isEmpty();
boolean isFull();
}

class ArrayStack implements Stack {

private int[] stack;
private int top;
private int size;

public ArrayStack(int size) {

this.size = size;
stack = new int[size];
top = -1;
}

public void push(int item) {

if (isFull()) {
System.out.println("Stack is full");
return;
}
stack[++top] = item;
}

public int pop() {

if (isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("Stack is empty");
return -1;
}
return stack[top--];
}

public boolean isEmpty() {

return top == -1;
}

public boolean isFull() {

return top == size - 1;
}
}

b. check for stack empty and full using method

interface Stack {
void push(int item);
int pop();
boolean isEmpty();
boolean isFull();
}

class ArrayStack implements Stack {

private int[] stack;
private int top;
private int size;

public ArrayStack(int size) {

this.size = size;

}

public void push(int item) {

if (isFull()) {
System.out.println("Stack is full");
return;
}
stack[++top] = item;
System.out.println("Pushed: " + item);
}

public int pop() {

if (isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("Stack is empty");
return -1;
}
System.out.println("Popped: " + stack[top]);
return stack[top--];
}

public boolean isEmpty() {

return top == -1;
}

public boolean isFull() {

return top == size - 1;
}
}

2. Design class of college which uses two interfaces named student and teacher. Class college
will use methods declared in interface to display student and teacher personal information.
interface Student {
void showStudentInfo();
}

interface Teacher {
void showTeacherInfo();
}

obj.showStudentInfo();
obj.showTeacherInfo();
}
}

Post Lab Subjective/Objective type Questions:

1. What is interface? How is it different from an abstract class?
Answer : An interface is a collection of abstract methods that allows multiple inheritance.
It differs from an abstract class because it cannot have instance variables or constructors,
and all methods are by default abstract.

2. Explain how multiple inheritance can be implemented using interfaces.

Answer : Java does not support multiple inheritance in classes but allows it through
interfaces. A class can implement multiple interfaces, thus inheriting multiple
functionalities without conflicts.

3. What will be function of the following code ? will this code work ? if not, why ?

Conclusion:
 Interfaces help achieve abstraction and multiple inheritance in Java.
 They define a contract for implementing classes to follow.
 The experiment demonstrated the use of interfaces in stack operations and college data
representation.
