What is an interface?
Short answer. A list of methods a class promises to have, like a contract.
Why must the method be public?
Interface methods are public, and a class cannot make them less visible.
Remember
| Interface: a contract |
| Class uses implements |
| Methods must be public |
Three ways to pay. How does Java force all of them to pay? An interface is a contract. Upi implements Pay, so it must write a public pay method. Remember. An interface is a contract. A class implements it. Its methods must be public.
