    This document provides an overview of an AP Computer Science class that covers interfaces. The key points are: 1) Interfaces define a set of method signatures that implementing classes promise to define, allowing for different implementations while maintaining consistent behavior. 2) There are three main reasons to use interfaces - when implementations may differ but behavior is constant, when the specific type of an object is unknown, and to ensure certain behavior. 3) Real examples of interfaces in Java include the List interface implemented by ArrayList and LinkedList, and the Comparable interface which guarantees objects can be compared.

    AP Computer Science

    2015/02/25

    Learning Objectives
    Demonstrate an understanding of interfaces
    by using real-world examples.
    Give three reasons to use interfaces.
    Understand has-a relationships.

    Agenda

    Exit quiz review


    Interfaces: review and motivation
    Fraction work
    Has-a relationships

    Exit Quiz: Reivew


    Which lines are illegal?
    public static void fun(Shape shape, C ircle circle) {
    Shape shape2 = shape;
    Shape shape3 = circle;
    Circle circle2 = shape;
    Circle circle3 = circle;
    }

    Interface: A definition
    An interface is a variable type that consists of a
    set of method declarations, which any
    implementing classes promise to define.

    Interface: A definition
    An interface is a variable type that consists of a
    set of method declarations, which any
    implementing classes promise to define.
    What do shapes promise to implement?

    So why do we care?
    When implementation might differ, but
    behavior is constant
    When the specific type of an object is
    unknown
    When we want to ensure certain behavior

    Different implementations
    public interface D oor {
    //W hat goes here?
    }
    public class SlidingD oor im plem ents D oor {
    //W hat goes here?
    }
    public class RegularD oor im plem ents D oor {
    //W hat goes here?
    }

    Different implementations
    public interface D oor { public void open(); }
    public class SlidingD oor im plem ents D oor {
    public void open() { System .out.println("Sliding..."); }
    }
    public class RegularD oor im plem ents D oor {
    public void open() {
    System .out.println("Turning on hinges...");
    }
    }

    Different implementations
    A real example in Java:
    ArrayList and LinkedList both implement
    the interface List

    Type is not known

    What about a random ShapeG enerator()?
    What is the return type of this function?
    What is guaranteed about anything that this
    function returns?

    Ensuring behavior
    Implementing Com parable guarantees that
    any two objects of that type can be
    compared.
    It contains one method: com pareTo()

    Multiple interfaces
    What if we wanted to make Circles
    comparable?
    We can!
    public class Circle im plem ents Shape,
    Com parable {...}
