problem with interfaces

[Chaitali Deshpande]

From khalid's mock exam
Given:-
interface I{
void setValue(int val);
int getValue();
}
Definition a:
abstract class C implements I{
int getValue(){return 0;}
abstract vid increment();
}

Can we create class c using interface I
I feel we can create because class c is defined abstract.
Am I right

[Val Dra]

no you can't create instance of an abstract class

Hi Chaitaili,
The example will fail because Interface methods are implicitly public.
Class C is providing only package access for <code>int getValue()</code>. Overriding methods cannot have lower access privileges than the original method.
Hope that helps.
