Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 2, Problem 8R
Explanation of Solution
Extending the interfaces:
“Yes”, it is possible to extend two interfaces exclusively.
Interface:
The interface is similar to the class and it can be declared with the keyword interface.
- The interface does not contain any constructors with it and all the methods in the interface are “abstract”.
- A class only “implements” the interface and it cannot “extends” the interface.
- But the interface can extend multiple interfaces.
- The interface extends another interface using the “extends” keyword in java.
- While extending the interface, the child interface inherits the methods of parent interface.
Sample code:
//Declare the interface Animal
public interface Animal
{
// Create the method run()
public void run();
}
//Declare the interface Goat that extends Animal interface
public interface Goat extends Animal
{
// Create the method
public void milk();
