Java Interface and Package Module

The document explains the concepts of interfaces and packages in Java. An interface serves as a blueprint for classes, requiring them to implement specified methods, while a package groups related classes and interfaces to organize code and avoid name conflicts. Key points include the abstract nature of interface methods, the ability for classes to implement multiple interfaces, and the distinction between built-in and user-defined packages.

Java Module: Interface and Package

1. Interface in Java
An interface is a blueprint for a class. It defines what methods a class must have, but not how they
work.

It is a contract — if a class implements an interface, it must define all its methods.

Syntax:
interface InterfaceName {

void method1();

void method2();

Example:

interface Animal {

void eat();

void sleep();

class Dog implements Animal {

public void eat() {

[Link]("Dog eats bones");

public void sleep() {

[Link]("Dog sleeps in kennel");

class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Dog d = new Dog();

[Link]();

[Link]();

}
}Output: Dog eats bones Dog sleeps in kennel

Key Points:
- All interface methods are abstract.
- All variables are public static final.
- A class can implement multiple interfaces.- Interfaces can extend other interfaces.

Example of Multiple Interfaces:

interface A {
void showA();
}
interface B {
void showB();
}
class C implements A, B {
public void showA() {
[Link]("This is from A");
}
public void showB() {
[Link]("This is from B");
}
}

2. Package in Java
A package groups related classes and interfaces, like folders in a computer.
It helps avoid name conflicts and organize code.

Types of Packages:
1. Built-in packages (e.g., [Link], [Link])
2. User-defined packages

Example of User-defined Package:


// Save as [Link] inside "mypack" folder package mypack; public class Animal { public void
display() { [Link]("This is the Animal class inside mypack package."); } } Use in another
file:
import [Link] ;
class TestPackage {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Animal obj = new Animal();
[Link]();
}
}

Commands to Run:
javac mypack/[Link]
javac -cp . [Link]
java -cp . TestPackage

Output:
This is the Animal class inside mypack package.
