What is Interface in Java | How to implement Multiple Inheritance Using Interface | Edureka
The document explains Java interfaces, highlighting their purpose as a means to allow multiple inheritance and facilitate communication between different system components. It details the syntax for declaring an interface, its advantages such as promoting loose coupling, and disadvantages like performance limitations. The document also outlines key rules regarding instantiation, accessibility, and method implementation in interfaces.

- 23. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES •Through interfaces we can implement multiple inheritance in java. • Interfaces function to break up the complex designs and clear the dependencies between objects. • Interfaces makes your application loosely coupled. ADVANTAGES www.edureka.co
- 24. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES •Java interfaces are slower and more limited than other ones. • Interface should be used multiple number of times else there is hardly any use of having them. • Through interfaces we can implement multiple inheritance in java. • Interfaces function to break up the complex designs and clear the dependencies between objects. • Interfaces makes your application loosely coupled. ADVANTAGES www.edureka.co

- 26. KEY POINTS CAN WEINSTANTIATE AN INTERFACE? We cannot create the object of an interface. Hence, We can’t instantiate an interface in Java. www.edureka.co
- 27. KEY POINTS ABSTRACTION Interface providesfull abstraction as none of its methods have body. www.edureka.co
- 28. KEY POINTS IMPLEMENTING ANINTERFACE? • The Keyword Implement is used by a class to implement an Interface. • The method in an Interface must be provided as Public before implementing it in any Class. • Class must implement all the methods declared in an Interface, or else it must be declared as an Abstract Class. www.edureka.co
- 29. KEY POINTS ACCESS MODIFIERSIN AN INTERFACE • Interface cannot be declared as private, protected or transient. • All the interface methods are by default abstract and public. • Variables declared in interface are public, static and final by default. • Interface variables must be initialized at the time of declaration otherwise compiler will throw an error. • Inside any implementation class, you cannot change the variables declared in interface. www.edureka.co
- 30. KEY POINTS EXTENDING ANINTERFACE • An interface can extend any interface but cannot implement it. • A class can implement any number of interfaces. • If there are two or more same methods in two interfaces and a class implements both interfaces, implementation of the method once is enough. • A class cannot implement two interfaces that have methods with same name but different return type. • Variable names conflicts can be resolved by interface name. www.edureka.co
