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?
你的回答是对的，但是面试官需要你从软件工程的角度来区分，而不是根据Java的细节。
简单的单词:
An Interface is like the interface of a shop anything that is shown on it should be there in the shop, so any method in the Interface must be there implemented in the concrete class. Now what if some classes share some exact methods and varies in others. Suppose the Interface is about a shop that contains two things and suppose we have two shops both contain sport equipment but one has clothes extra and the other has shoes extra. So what you do is making an abstract class for Sport that implements the Sports method and leave the other method unimplemented. Abstract class here means that this shop doesn't exist itself but it is the base for other classes/shops. This way you are organising the code, avoiding errors of replicating the code, unifying the code, and ensuring re-usability by some other class.
我先给大家举个例子:
public interface LoginAuth{
public String encryptPassword(String pass);
public void checkDBforUser();
}
假设您的应用程序中有3个数据库。然后，该数据库的每个实现都需要定义上述2个方法:
public class DBMySQL implements LoginAuth{
// Needs to implement both methods
}
public class DBOracle implements LoginAuth{
// Needs to implement both methods
}
public class DBAbc implements LoginAuth{
// Needs to implement both methods
}
但是，如果encryptPassword()不依赖于数据库，并且对每个类都是相同的呢?那么上面的方法就不是一个好的方法。
相反，考虑以下方法:
public abstract class LoginAuth{
public String encryptPassword(String pass){
// Implement the same default behavior here
// that is shared by all subclasses.
}
// Each subclass needs to provide their own implementation of this only:
public abstract void checkDBforUser();
}
现在，在每个子类中，我们只需要实现一个方法——依赖于数据库的方法。
