Yes. An interface in essence is a java class and so you can use the term interface class. But, using the term class along with the term interface can cause ambiguity or misunderstandings among novice java developers. So, using the term "Interface" along would suffice to refer to a type of class which is the "Interface"

Is Iterator a class or Interface?

Its an interface.


What is similarities between Abstract Class and Interface?

If a class has one abstract method ,the class has to be an abstract class.Methods can be implemented in abstract class.Whereas a interface is like a abstract class...the only difference being that the methods are never implemented in Interface.


What do you mean by inheriting the interface?

In object oriented programming, a derived class inherits the protected and public members of its base class. Those members therefore define the interface that is inherited by the derived class. The derived class may augment that interface to provide a more specialised implementation of the interface, without the need to re-write the generic interface of the base class. The implication is that the derived class is a more specialised form of the base class.


What is the latent function of friends?

The only function of a friend is to extend the private class interface outwith the class, essentially making the friend part of the class interface.


What is an interface class and what is an abstract class?

The term interface class does not exist in C#. If this is a term describing a class being an interface to other component (human, subsystems, etc), it is very application specific. The designer of that application should know the abstraction.However, C# does have another type called interface. An interface is NOT a class. An interface defines the intention of some behaviors that classes may be extended it and provides the implementation. The intention, is nothing but method signatures, which defines the return data type, the method name, and any method arguments and associated data type. The implementation is the code of the method. Interface is used for separating the concern of design and implementation.Abstract class is a class with abstract keyword. It can be just like a class without that keyword (then, why it is an abstract class?). But it may have some methods or properties defined as abstract. These abstract methods, like the method signatures of an interface, defines the intention.The subclasses of such an abstract class would need to implement those abstract methods (providing the code).There are more common, differences between interfaces and abstract classes, please see answer(s) of those related questions in C# category.

Can you create an empty interface with no definitions?

Yes. This is a valid interface definition in Java: interface Useless {}

Why instance in abstract or interface?

we can make object of interface but in abstract we can not make object of it interface ab= new Classs(): in interface we maintain multiple inhetence by use of obj of interface we if inherit two class have same fun then we give the name of that interface and call the pertucular that fun interface ab= new class() ab.add(); but in Astract Class we cannot make object of it only class class wich inherit it can make object class ab2= new Class(); and by obj we call function of drived class ob2.add();


What is the difference between class inheritance and interface inheritance?

interface inheritance is a misleading term. Interface inheritance would be equivalent to the union of the method signatures of interfaces ( no typo here, an interface may implment multiple other interfaces) Class inheritance - single hierarchy (in C#), and not only the methods are inherited, but also the data members. (interface in C# cannot define data members)


Interface can be defined inside another class?

yes ,interface can be defined inside another class

Can a class write inside an interface?

Yes, you can create a static class inside an interface, but it is normally not a good idea.


When you define a c plus plus class what items are considered part of the interface?

The interface of a C++ class is the public methods and attributes that are exposed by the class. In a pure abstract base class, the interface is enforced by the compiler in each of the derived child classes.

In the field of computers what does the term java interface mean?

In Java, an interface is a suite of methods that multiple different classes are able to implement. Interfaces are not assigned to any particular class. For example, multiple graphics classes can use the same interface to change their size and colour.
