Learning Goals
-
Using multiple interfaces
- to state that some code uses an object from the particular perspective of one of those interfaces
- to allow you to declare multiple super types for a class
I want to make any barking animal bark and I don't care if it's a dog or not!
for (Barking barker : barkers) {
barker.bark();
}
// "WOOOFF"
// "WUUUUUFFF"
// "WAAAAAFFF"
// "GRAAAA"
// "WOOOFF"Why Interfaces?
Multiple Interfaces
void walk()
Dog
void fetchStick()
Fox
void fetchChicken()
Walking
void walk()<<interface>>
Barking

Multiple Interfaces (2)
void makeThingBark(Barking barker) {
barker.bark();
}void makeThingWalk(Walking walker) {
walker.walk();
}Barking barkingWolf = new Wolf();
Walking walkingWolf = new Wolf();
Wolf explicitWolf = new Wolf();
makeThingBark(barkingWolf); // ???
