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.
Comparable Interface:
A comparable interface is a generic interface that defines the compareTo() method that is used for comparing objects.
Using comparable interface, one can choose the properties of the objects, rather than the reference location of the objects.
Example:
//java langauage package for comaprable interface
package java.lang
//comparable interface definition
public interface Comparable <E>
{
//use of compareTo to compare objects
public integer compareTo(E o);
}
The compareTo() method determines the order of this object with the specified object “o” and returns a negative integer, zero or positive integer, if this object is less than, equal to or greater than object “o”.

- Write a FancyCar class to support basic operations such as drive, add gas, honk horn, and start engine. FancyCar.java is provided with method stubs. Follow each step to gradually complete all methods. Note: This program is designed for incremental development. Complete each step and submit for grading before starting the next step. Only a portion of tests pass after each step but confirm progress. The main() method includes basic method calls. Add statements in main() as methods are completed to support development mode testing. Step 0. Declare private fields for miles driven as shown on the odometer (int), gallons of gas in tank (double), miles per gallon or MPG (double), driving capacity (double), and car model (String). Note the provided final variable indicates the gas tank capacity of 14.0 gallons. Step 1 (2 pts). 1) Complete the default constructor by initializing the odometer to five miles, tank is full of gas, miles per gallon is 24.0, and the model is "Old Clunker". 2)…arrow_forwardFind the error: daily_sales = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] days_of_week = ['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'] for i in range(7): daily_sales[i] = float(input('Enter the sales for ' \ + day_of_week[i] + ': ')arrow_forwardFind the error: daily_sales = [0.0, 0,0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] days_of_week = ['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'] for i in range(7): daily_sales[i] = float(input('Enter the sales for ' \ + days_of_week[i] + ': ')arrow_forward
