在我的一次采访中，我被要求解释接口类和抽象类之间的区别。
以下是我的回答:
Methods of a Java interface are implicitly abstract
and cannot have implementations. A Java abstract class can have
instance methods that implements a default behaviour.
Variables declared in a Java interface are by default final. An
abstract class may contain non-final variables.
Members of a Java interface are public by default. A Java abstract
class can have the usual flavours of class members like private,
protected, etc.
A Java interface should be implemented using keyword “implements”; A
Java abstract class should be extended using keyword “extends”.
An interface can extend another Java interface only, an abstract class
can extend another Java class and implement multiple Java interfaces.
A Java class can implement multiple interfaces but it can extend only
one abstract class.
然而，面试官并不满意，他告诉我这种描述代表了“书本知识”。
他让我给出一个更实际的回答，用实际的例子解释我什么时候会选择抽象类而不是接口。
我哪里错了?
From what I understand, an Interface, which is comprised of final variables and methods with no implementations, is implemented by a class to obtain a group of methods or methods that are related to each other. On the other hand, an abstract class, which can contain non-final variables and methods with implementations, is usually used as a guide or as a superclass from which all related or similar classes inherits from. In other words, an abstract class contains all the methods/variables that are shared by all its subclasses.
接口由单例变量(公共静态final)和公共抽象方法组成。当我们知道要做什么但不知道如何做时，我们通常更喜欢实时使用接口。
这个概念可以通过以下例子更好地理解:
考虑一个支付类。支付方式有很多种，比如PayPal，信用卡等。因此，我们通常将Payment作为接口，其中包含makePayment()方法，CreditCard和PayPal是两个实现类。
public interface Payment
{
void makePayment();//by default it is a abstract method
}
public class PayPal implements Payment
{
public void makePayment()
{
//some logic for PayPal payment
//e.g. Paypal uses username and password for payment
}
}
public class CreditCard implements Payment
{
public void makePayment()
{
//some logic for CreditCard payment
//e.g. CreditCard uses card number, date of expiry etc...
}
}
在上面的例子中，CreditCard和PayPal是两个实现类/策略。接口还允许我们在Java中实现多重继承的概念，这是抽象类无法实现的。
当我们知道某些特性该做什么，而其他特性又知道如何执行时，我们就会选择一个抽象类。
考虑下面的例子:
public abstract class Burger
{
public void packing()
{
//some logic for packing a burger
}
public abstract void price(); //price is different for different categories of burgers
}
public class VegBerger extends Burger
{
public void price()
{
//set price for a veg burger.
}
}
public class NonVegBerger extends Burger
{
public void price()
{
//set price for a non-veg burger.
}
}
如果我们将来在给定的抽象类中添加方法(具体的/抽象的)，那么实现类将不需要更改其代码。但是，如果将来在接口中添加方法，则必须将实现添加到实现该接口的所有类中，否则会发生编译时错误。
还有其他不同之处，但这些都是面试官所期望的。希望这对你们有帮助。
当我试图在两个密切相关的类之间共享行为时，我创建了一个包含公共行为的抽象类，并作为两个类的父类。
当我试图定义Type(对象的用户可以可靠地调用的方法列表)时，我创建了一个接口。
例如，我绝不会创建一个只有一个具体子类的抽象类，因为抽象类是关于共享行为的。但是我很可能创建一个只有一个实现的接口。我的代码的用户不会知道只有一个实现。实际上，在未来的版本中可能会有几个实现，它们都是一些新的抽象类的子类，这些抽象类在我创建接口时甚至还不存在。
这似乎也有点太书生气了(尽管我在记忆中从未见过这样的说法)。如果面试官(或OP)真的想要更多关于这方面的个人经验，我早就准备好了关于界面是出于必要而进化的轶事，反之亦然。
One more thing. Java 8 now allows you to put default code into an interface, further blurring the line between interfaces and abstract classes. But from what I have seen, that feature is overused even by the makers of the Java core libraries. That feature was added, and rightly so, to make it possible to extend an interface without creating binary incompatibility. But if you are making a brand new Type by defining an interface, then the interface should be JUST an interface. If you want to also provide common code, then by all means make a helper class (abstract or concrete). Don't be cluttering your interface from the start with functionality that you may want to change.
