Chapter 13.5, Problem 13.5.2CP
Program Plan Intro

abstract class:

An abstract class is a class which may or may not include abstract methods and cannot be instantiated but rather can be sub classed.

The conditions for a class to be considered as legal abstract class are mentioned below:

  • If a class includes abstract methods, then the class must be declared as abstract.
  • The abstract method that is declared within the abstract class must be declared without braces and followed by a semicolon.

Interface:

Interface is a reference type in Java, which contains a collection of abstract methods.

An interface needs to the follow certain conditions such as:

  • One cannot instantiate an interface.
  • Interfaces do not contain any constructors.
  • All methods present in the interface are abstracts.
  • An interface does not contain any instance field.
  • An interface cannot be extended by a class.

Can we have static methods in an Interface?
only in java not  in java c++   1. Define an interface named Shape with a single method named area that calculates the area of the geometric shape: public double area(); 2. Implement the Shape interface for Rectangle, Circle and Triangle class. 3. Implement a class CalculateAreas that has a function that takes shape type array of objects and builds an array of (double values) values for each corresponding shapes
Write a Program in Java                        Create an interface EnhancedShape that extends Shape and also requires a method public double perimeter( ) to be implemented by any class that uses the interface. (Note: Interfaces can inherit other interface just like a class by using extends keyword. Create a class file, an interface ehancedshape extends shape, and an interface shape file).
