Chapter 13.5, Problem 13.5.2CP
Program Plan Intro

abstract class:

An abstract class is a class which may or may not include abstract methods and cannot be instantiated but rather can be sub classed.

The conditions for a class to be considered as legal abstract class are mentioned below:

  • If a class includes abstract methods, then the class must be declared as abstract.
  • The abstract method that is declared within the abstract class must be declared without braces and followed by a semicolon.

Interface:

Interface is a reference type in Java, which contains a collection of abstract methods.

An interface needs to the follow certain conditions such as:

  • One cannot instantiate an interface.
  • Interfaces do not contain any constructors.
  • All methods present in the interface are abstracts.
  • An interface does not contain any instance field.
  • An interface cannot be extended by a class.

A. Writing an Interface In this problem you will first write an interface and then modify classes to implement the interface. Write an interface, GeometricSolid, which has one method, volume. The volume method takes no arguments and returns a double. You are provided with three classes: Cylinder, Sphere, and RightCircularCone Modify the classes so that they implement the GeometricSolid interface. Supply the appropriate method for each class. You can use Google search to find the formula for the volume. Make sure that you use Math.PI in your calculations. Notice in InterfaceRunner that the objects are added to an ArrayList of GeometricSolids. since I couldn't fit all images with two screen shots I left the link here link: https://codecheck.it/files/18040616319p6jy6gzkdzuq08nmlp81251t
Can we have static methods in an Interface?
only in java not  in java c++   1. Define an interface named Shape with a single method named area that calculates the area of the geometric shape: public double area(); 2. Implement the Shape interface for Rectangle, Circle and Triangle class. 3. Implement a class CalculateAreas that has a function that takes shape type array of objects and builds an array of (double values) values for each corresponding shapes
