🎯 What You Will Learn

  • What is an Interface in Java?
  • Why interfaces are important
  • Rules of Java interfaces
  • Difference between Class, Abstract Class, and Interface
  • Real-time examples of interfaces
  • Java interface interview questions

📌 What is a Java Interface?

A Java Interface is a blueprint of a class. It contains abstract methods (method without body) that are implemented by classes.

💡 Interfaces tell WHAT to do, classes tell HOW to do it.

💡 Features of Java Interface

  • Interfaces support multiple inheritance
  • All methods are abstract by default
  • Variables inside interface are public static final
  • Helps achieve loose coupling
  • Improves code structure & maintenance

📘 Java Interface Syntax

interface Animal {
    void sound(); // abstract method
}
  

🐶 Example: Interface Implementation

interface Animal {
    void sound();
}

class Dog implements Animal {
    public void sound() {
        System.out.println("Dog Barks");
    }
}

class TestInterface {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Animal a = new Dog();
        a.sound();
    }
}
  

🧠 Output

Dog Barks

🔍 Why Use Interfaces?

  • To achieve abstraction
  • To achieve multiple inheritance
  • To support API integrations
  • To implement loose coupling in Java applications
  • To follow coding best practices used by professional Java developers

📌 Real-Time Use Case Example

Every automation framework (Selenium, API Testing) uses interfaces for WebDriver, List, Set, Map etc.

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
  

Here, WebDriver is an interface, and ChromeDriver is the implementation.

❓ Java Interface Interview Questions

Q1: Can we create an object of an interface?

A: No, but we can create object of implementing class.

Q2: Can interface contain constructors?

A: No, because interface cannot create objects.

Q3: Why interface variables are final?

A: Because interfaces define constants, not state.
