Hi,

I have come acrossed with the term "Is-Like A" in some mock questions where
if a class implements an interface , an instance of that class is said to be
"Is-Like" the interface.

That is alright, but my question is whether this term "Is-Like-A" is
officially used or under under the interface case too, we should call it IS-A
instead of Is-Like-A.

Specially my concern is regarding SCJP test.


Thanks,

hi,
I think "IS-LIKE-A" is same as "IS-A"(not sure).
It would be better if anyone who has already appeared for this test can clarify this.
