In a certification test, I got this question, then Test.doIt method is overriding the abstract class, then what about the interface method ?

Thanks.

I cant' explain, I just tried out. So my answer ist: it won't compile. Because you do override the method of EEE but you don't implement the method of DDD. This will work:



No... I was wrong... doiIt is not == doIt ;-).

So, after a while, and another try I'd say: it doesn't matter. The method in EEE is implementing and extending. Because both d.doIt() and e.doIt() will execute the method in Test:

It's killing two birds with one stone (as they say).
  • Test extends the abstract class EEE. In doing so, it implements EEE's abstract method, doIt.
  • Test also implements the interface DDD. In doing do, it implements DDD's method, doIt.
