Java Interface Example

/*
Java Interface example.
This Java Interface example describes how interface is defined and
being used in Java language.

Syntax of defining java interface is,
<modifier> interface <interface-name>{
  //members and methods()
}
*/

//declare an interface
interface IntExample{

  /*
  Syntax to declare method in java interface is,
  <modifier> <return-type> methodName(<optional-parameters>);
  IMPORTANT : Methods declared in the interface are implicitly public and abstract.
  */

  public void sayHello();
  }
}
/*
Classes are extended while interfaces are implemented.
To implement an interface use implements keyword.
IMPORTANT : A class can extend only one other class, while it
can implement n number of interfaces.
*/

public class JavaInterfaceExample implements IntExample{
  /*
  We have to define the method declared in implemented interface,
  or else we have to declare the implementing class as abstract class.
  */

  public void sayHello(){
    System.out.println("Hello Visitor !");
  }

  public static void main(String args[]){
    //create object of the class
    JavaInterfaceExample javaInterfaceExample = new JavaInterfaceExample();
    //invoke sayHello(), declared in IntExample interface.
    javaInterfaceExample.sayHello();
  }
}

/*
OUTPUT of the above given Java Interface example would be :
Hello Visitor !
*/
