Interfaces
The interface contract has been a tremendous tool for team programming and software extensibility. The interface contract specifies the method name, number of parameters, and data type of the parameters. Here are the key characteristics and benefits of using interfaces in OOP:
- Abstraction: Interfaces help in achieving abstraction by defining a clear and standardized set of method signatures without specifying their implementation details. This allows you to hide the internal complexity of classes and focus on the behavior they expose.
- Separation of concerns: By using interfaces, you can separate the interface of a class from its implementation. This enables you to change or extend the behavior of a class without it affecting the client code that uses the interface.
- Polymorphism: Interfaces play a crucial role in achieving polymorphism. When a class implements an interface, it can be treated as an instance of that interface, allowing objects of different classes...
