Interface In Java


 An Interface in java programming language is exact copy of a class. It consist of abstract methods and static constants. 

Interface is a method which is used to achieve abstraction. It contains abstract methods not the method body. It is used to achieve abstraction and multiple inheritance in java.

It represents the IS-A relationship. 

Reasons why to use Inheritance in java?

1) It is used to achieve abstraction.

2) By interface, we can support the functionality of multiple inheritance.

3) It can be used to achieve loose coupling.( loose coupling in java means that the classes are independent of each other. The only knowledge one class has about the other class is what the other class has exposed through its interface in loose coupling.).

Declaration of an Interface in Java

Interface in java is declared using the keyword that is interface keyword. It provides that total abstraction, that means all methods in the interface are declared with empty body and all the fields are public, static and final by default.

Syntax.

interface <interface name>

{

               // declare constant fields

              // declare methods that abstract

             // by default

}

Inheritance In Java

  Inheritance Inheritance is a process or a mechanism where one class acquire the properties which include methods and fields of another class. With the use of this concept the information is made manageable in a hierarchical order. The class which inherits the properties of another class is known as subclass  or derived class or child class . and the class whose properties are inherited is called as base class or parent class . In java inheritance cannot be achieved until we use extends keyword. Reason to use Inheritance 1 For Method overriding 2 For code reusability  Syntax: class abc { ......... ......... } class xyz extends abc { ......... ......... } ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example //WAP to Demonstrate Inheritance............. import java.io.*; class Superclass { BufferedReader r=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); Double num1,num2; void get() ...

What is Procedural Programming Language(PPL)

  Procedural Programming Language. Procedural Programming might be the primary programming worldview that another engineer will learn. Essentially, the procedural code is the one that straightforwardly trains a gadget on the best way to complete an errand in consistent advances. This worldview utilizes a direct top-down methodology and treats information and techniques as two distinct elements. In view of the idea of a methodology call, Procedural Programming isolates the program into strategies, which are otherwise called schedules or capacities, just containing a progression of steps to be done.  Basically, Procedural Programming includes recording a rundown of directions to mention to the PC what it ought to do bit by bit to complete the job needing to be done.  Key Highlights of Procedural Programming  The vital highlights of procedural writing computer programs are given underneath:  1)Predefined capacities: A predefined work is normally a guidance distingu...
