我真的不明白接口存在的原因。据我所知,这是c#中不存在的多继承的一种工作(至少我是这么被告知的)。
我所看到的是,您预定义了一些成员和函数,然后必须在类中再次重新定义它们。从而使接口成为冗余。它只是感觉像句法……嗯,垃圾对我来说(请没有冒犯的意思。Junk是指无用的东西)。
在下面的例子中,我将创建一个名为Pizza的基类,而不是一个接口。
简单示例(取自不同的堆栈溢出贡献)
public interface IPizza
{
public void Order();
}
public class PepperoniPizza : IPizza
{
public void Order()
{
//Order Pepperoni pizza
}
}
public class HawaiiPizza : IPizza
{
public void Order()
{
//Order HawaiiPizza
}
}
考虑接口的最简单方法是认识继承的意义。如果类CC继承了类C,这意味着:
类CC可以使用类C的任何public或protected成员,就像它们是自己的一样,因此只需要实现父类中不存在的东西。
对CC的引用可以传递或分配给期望对C的引用的例程或变量。
遗传的这两个功能在某种意义上是相互独立的;虽然继承同时应用这两个,但也可以应用第二个而不应用第一个。这很有用,因为允许一个对象从两个或多个不相关的类继承成员要比允许一种类型可以替代多种类型复杂得多。
接口有点像抽象基类,但有一个关键的区别:继承基类的对象不能继承任何其他类。相反,一个对象可以实现一个接口,而不影响它继承任何所需类或实现任何其他接口的能力。
One nice feature of this (underutilized in the .net framework, IMHO) is that they make it possible to indicate declaratively the things an object can do. Some objects, for example, will want data-source object from which they can retrieve things by index (as is possible with a List), but they won't need to store anything there. Other routines will need a data-depository object where they can store things not by index (as with Collection.Add), but they won't need to read anything back. Some data types will allow access by index, but won't allow writing; others will allow writing, but won't allow access by index. Some, of course, will allow both.
If ReadableByIndex and Appendable were unrelated base classes, it would be impossible to define a type which could be passed both to things expecting a ReadableByIndex and things expecting an Appendable. One could try to mitigate this by having ReadableByIndex or Appendable derive from the other; the derived class would have to make available public members for both purposes, but warn that some public members might not actually work. Some of Microsoft's classes and interfaces do that, but that's rather icky. A cleaner approach is to have interfaces for the different purposes, and then have objects implement interfaces for the things they can actually do. If one had an interface IReadableByIndex and another interface IAppendable, classes which could do one or the other could implement the appropriate interfaces for the things they can do.
