Question about Interface Declaration

[Mohit Goyal]

Hi
Well cud anybody tell me about which modifiers( access and non-access )
can be used when declaring an interface and what r the implicit modifiers .

[Jessica Sant]

This section of the JLS lists all the possible interace modifiers:

�9.1.1 Interface Modifiers
InterfaceModifier: one of
public protected private
abstract static strictfp
The access modifier public is discussed in �6.6. Not all modifiers are applicable to all kinds of interface declarations. The access modifiers protected and private pertain only to member interfaces within a directly enclosing class declaration (�8.5) and are discussed in �8.5.1. The access modifier static pertains only to member interfaces (�8.5, �9.5). A compile-time error occurs if the same modifier appears more than once in an interface declaration.

well interfaces are implicitly abstract so how can we use strictfp in the interface declaration . won't that give a compiler error

No it doesn't.strictfp in interface implies that all nested types declared in the interface are implicitly strictfp.
