Java Interface Lab Manual

The document provides a Java program that demonstrates the use of interfaces by defining a Shape interface and implementing it in classes for Circle, Rectangle, and Triangle. It includes a main method that calculates and displays the area and perimeter of these shapes. Additionally, it outlines lab tasks for modifications and improvements to the program, such as adding a Square class and implementing a Drawable interface.

Lab Task / Exercises


1. Modify the program to add a new class Square that implements the
Shape interface, and include it in the shapes array.
2. Add a default method describe() in the Shape interface that prints a
generic message, and call it for each shape.
3. Create a second interface Drawable with a method draw(), and make
one of the classes implement both Shape and Drawable to
demonstrate multiple interface implementation.
4. Declare an interface constant (e.g., PI = 3.14159) inside Shape and use
it inside the Circle class instead of [Link].
5. Write a short program that shows the compile-time error that occurs
when a class implements an interface but does not override all of its
abstract methods, then fix it.
