Whats an interface?
An interface is an idea taken from Objective C. It describes the public methods that a class implements and their calling conventions without saying anything about how those methods are implemented. It is the responsibility of each class that implements an interface to provide code to handle the cases where the methods of the interface are called. For example suppose you’re writing an inventory database. The inventory may include many different items of many different types and classes. However each item in the warehouse needs to be able to tell you its price. Normally you would implement this by having each class extend a common superclass. However that’s not always convenient.
