I got a small ( & may be Stupid too, perhaps ! Pls. excuse me !) doubt today while looking at Abstract classes & Interfaces...
My doubt was(& STILL is..!)....
Why can't an Abstract class "extend" an Interface (which is like..umm...a purely Abstract class by the way...!! :-) )
Esp., why can't i have code like the following ??
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
interface SomeVerb_able {
// For example, *SomeVerb* may be say *Draw* ??...
void someAction( );
} /* end interface */
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// For example, *SomeVerb* may be say *Draw* ??...
// And *myAbstractClass* may well be..umm..*Shape*...??
abstract class myAbstractClass extends SomeVerb_able {
// Extra method specs...on top of those ALREADY in the Interface...
} /* end class */
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOW, i Do know that allowing that will cause some problems...but i jus' needed your valuable thoughts/ideas on this...
// For example, *SomeVerb* may be say *Draw* ??...
void someAction( );
} /* end interface */
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// For example, *SomeVerb* may be say *Draw* ??...
// And *myAbstractClass* may well be..umm..*Shape*...??
abstract class myAbstractClass extends SomeVerb_able {
// Extra method specs...on top of those ALREADY in the Interface...
} /* end class */
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOW, i Do know that allowing that will cause some problems...but i jus' needed your valuable thoughts/ideas on this...
Thanks a lot in advance...!
