<title>Object Interfaces</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Object interfaces allow you to create code which specifies which methods a
|
|
class must implement, without having to define how these methods are
|
|
handled.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Interfaces are defined using the interface keyword, in the same way as a
|
|
standard class, but without any of the methods having their contents
|
|
defined.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
All methods declared in an interface must be public, this is the nature of an
|
|
interface.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<sect2>
|
|
<title><literal>implements</literal></title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
To implement an interface, the <literal>implements</literal> operator is used.
|
|
All methods in the interface must be implemented within a class; failure to do
|
|
so will result in a fatal error. Classes may implement more than one interface
|
|
if desired by separating each interface with a comma.
