Interface
• An interface in java is a blueprint of a class.
• An interface contains behaviors that a class implements.
• It has static constants and abstract methods.
• The interface in java is a mechanism to achieve abstraction and
multiple inheritance.
• Interface is declared by using interface keyword.
• A class that implement interface must implement all the methods
declared in the interface.
Declaration
• To define an interface, we write:
public interface [InterfaceName] {
// declare constant fields
// declare methods that abstract by default
}
Relationship between classes and
interfaces
• A class extends another class, an interface extends another interface but a
class implements an interface.
Various ways of Interface
Implementation
Example

interface printable{
void print();
}

class A implements printable{


public void print(){System.out.println("Hello");}

public static void main(String args[]){


A obj = new A();
obj.print();
}
}
Multiple inheritance by interface
• If a class implements multiple interfaces, or an interface extends
multiple interfaces i.e. known as multiple inheritance.
Example
interface Printable{ public void show(){
void print(); System.out.println("Welcome");
} }
interface Showable{ public static void main(String args[]){
void show(); A7 obj = new A7();
}
obj.print();
class A7 implements
Printable,Showable{ obj.show();
public void print(){ }}
System.out.println("Hello");
}
Extending Interfaces
A class implements interface but one interface extends
another interface.
interface Printable{ public void show(){
void print1(); System.out.println("Welcome");
}
}
interface Showable extends Printable{
void show(); public static void main(String
} args[]){
class TestInterface4 implements Showable{ TestInterface4 obj = new
public void print1(){ TestInterface4();
System.out.println("Hello"); obj.print1();
}
obj.show();
}}
