📌 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.
🆚 Difference: Class vs Abstract Class vs Interface
| Feature | Class | Abstract Class | Interface |
|---|---|---|---|
| Methods | Concrete | Both | Abstract only |
| Variables | Normal | Normal | public static final |
| Multiple Inheritance | ❌ | ❌ | ✔️ |
❓ 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.
