@@alexlorenlee Cam you just add the interface with some code so that you don't have to add each method manually one by one like you had to with fill and pour out?
Actually every method in Interface is public and abstract. Abstract methods does not contain method body. We need to implement the abstract methods by using child classes. Here InterfaceExample is the child class of waterBottleInterface(interface).
I would love that you would have said : All methods in an interface are abstract. All methods in an interface are automatically public. The keyword public does not appear. Interfaces do not have instance variables because no objects of the interface type can be created! Any variables declared in an interface are automatically public, static, and final (i.e. constants). For that reason, these keywords should not appear in the declaration. for example.
Best teachers will be online. Just wait. The future will pave the way. I can’t wait for the school system to break down and we get into real learning. Sovereign individual will come.

Welcome back! I've been following you since 2021, and I have to admit, hearing that you were taking a break from making new Java videos made me a bit sad. However, seeing you back in action now brings so much joy! I absolutely love your videos and the way you effortlessly explain complex concepts. I appreciate your content.
I tried to learn Java with many different videos and had hard time understanding it. You explain everything so easy! I learned so much from you. Thank you so much
i know im late but dude your videos are awesome. I'm learning Java at my bootcamp and I've watched like 6 of your videos and they all helped tremendously! everytime im watching your videos it feels like a close friend is explaining these topics to me lol thank you!!!
Thanks you so much man I appreciate it. In college (I live in Portugal) my teacher is spanish and doesn’t speak portuguese so I can’t understand jack shit of what he’s saying. Thank god you exist
Thank you so much, Alex, you are a great person to come back to when not understanding things about coding, although you can dive deeper into these things in other videos, I am still thankful that you are here to help. I hope one day you become a well-known channel that many people come for help to.
Thank you so much. You make learning Java so painless and even fun. I dread reading boring and horrible explanations, and yours are nothing of the sort! It makes my time feel worthwhile.
Alex thank you so much for all the wonderful videos you have helped me so much on topics that I only halfway understand. After watching your videos I always feel like a more confident beginning coder
Although that's certainly a good explanation, I would have like if you also explained the reason behind interfaces. That is, why do we need interfaces when we have abstract classes?
Sorry to disagree with you. It’s definitely not a brown switch of any kind, nor do I think it’s mechanical. The soft thumpy sound is a short travel distance membrane key. Likely to be the MacBook keyboard. Could be completely wrong. Fish around his videos to see if he has any camera angle of his typing. Edit: ruclips.net/video/JopvFT8pv-U/видео.html Topre, damn was I wrong hahah
Great Video Just some suggestions for better understanding Keep the main class and main method as it is. create one interface and another class that implements it Use a real example: Eg: The interface is a calculator and class that is implements the operations for a calculator. Great Video :)
Difference between Abstract classes and Interfaces? What happens if I use an abstract class and dont implement a method, or how can I go about implementing it's default value
Interface is nothing but a fully abstract class (abstract class in which all methods are abstract). whereas a partial abstract class is one in which some of the methods are abstract and some are concrete (have implementations). Java has a rule that a class can extend only one abstract class but a class can implement more than one interface. This can be used to simulate MULTIPLE INHERITANCE in java. Answering your second question, Subclassess which extends an abstract class must implement all the abstract methods. Otherwise, they should be made abstract as well.
why did you stop creating java content !!!! been looking for you. i need your video on MAP, ARRAYLIST,LINKEDLIST,HASHSET, your videos have been life saver for me
5:49 that is what "I" in SOLID for. Interface segretation. You must tend to make more specialized versions of interfaces because implementing all the methods can be cumbersome. But you can use interface inheritance to combine interfaces if you need, and, in this case, you have specialized interfaces and combined ones as well.
You are just awesome, seriously. When I have to submit new task, I always check your videos for particular theme. I like how you go straight to the business without talking a lot about the theory. Thanks a lot! Subscirbed immediately!))
It's mostly used for solving the multiple inheritance problem in java. I hope he makes a video about it. If new to java, the inheritance problem is that each class in java can have only one parent (master class). So in example, a dog-class is a sub-class of an animal class. So we declare it as dog extends animal. Now out dog has all the properties and methods that the animal class has. But what if we want to treat our dog as something else at the same time? Say, a pet? Then we write a pet interface. And now we declare our dog as dog extends animal implements pet. Now our dog can have methods and variables from both the animal class and the pet interface.
With multiple inheritance, if multiple parent classes have the same method name and their own implementation, it doesn't know which one to execute leading to ambiguity. To solve this problem, interface comes to the rescue. So, with interface, you can implement multiple interfaces to a class but the rule is to define the implementation in the current class not in the interfaces. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Is it right to think of the interface as "This is what this type of object does"? The methods are listed, but left blank because each instance of the object (each time we implement the interface) may perform each method a little differently. A tea Cup may pour differently than a measuring cup. However both are Implementing the Cup interface and using the methods their own unique way.
ik this is an old video but can anyone tell me how we use the LIst interface like how is it able to take in multiple types of lists and the general use of those types of interfaces where we dont implement but use them in the code
Hi, interesting and understated topic. Please upload a new video explaining Interfaces and Polymorphism which is the real purpose of interfaces. e.g. instead of referencing straight to the class to be able to reference to the interface.
as a beginning to know the purpose of your existence in this life.👇 .My friends, search for your life purpose, why are we here?? I advise you to watch this series ruclips.net/p/PLPqH38Ki1fy3EB-8xmShVqpbQw99Do2B-
This was very helpful. I practiced along side with you and l got a lot out of it. I will say though technically can't you avoid forcing the class implementing the interface to use every method in the interface by setting the access modifier of any methods not required as default?
Hey, how i can set a Char color without JFrame, buttons, etc... only in eclipse console? For example: I have a Char 'Z' of zombie and i have to set this char to green on console, how i can do this? Thanks
I think It is worth mentioning how the @Override thing on top means you will be re-writing a method from somewhere else. In this case you are re-writing the methods from the Interface. Have a good day.
Just to get this straight: The purpose of an interface is just to create a blueprint for classes that implement it by setting a few static variables and saying which methods must be present? I kinda get all that but I still struggle to find a real world application for this. The only thing that comes to mind is to protect "global" variables within the interface instead of using public variables but the abstract methods don't make any sense to me. Is it just that if you have a huge program that you follow your pre-designed patterns?
Hello Brother thanks for share with us, I really really appreciate your knowledge about coding but I really really need your advice because I have not an idea to solve my problem.

I saw somewhere that Interface is used to work with multiple inheritance because C++ supports multiple inheritance with classes, but java don't. Then to solve this problem, Java uses Interface. I am still trying to understand it. I hope to see something more detailed later in this chanel.
Great video, but I would keep the main method in a seprate class, kids might get confused, when you create an instance, of a class, itself, within it's own main method.
