Interface

[soujanya Bugatha]

Is it possible to define a class inside an interface ? I read that we can declare public abstract methods and final variables inside an interface but i never came across any code which defines a class inside an interface. please explain me.

you can define a class inside an interface. and this class is implicitly public static . in this way one can give a default implementation to clients(there are many other better way though).

Can you give us an example? Thanks.

interface IMobile{
	void ringTone();
	class Samsung implements IMobile{
		public void ringTone(){
			System.out.println("lalala...");
		}		
	}	
}
//call
IMobile mobile = new IMobile.Samsung();
mobile.ringTone();

This is an interesting topic!

Being a devil's advocate here, maybe we could discuss the following quote from Seetharaman:

What does the "default implementation" mean here?
