When you ihave a variable or argument whose type is an interface, the compiler can be sure the object that the variable refers to at runtime will have the method. But the compiler can't locate the exact code for that method because all it knows for sure is the interface.

Suppose you have a method that takes a List argument and you call a method on the argument. At runtime the JRE has to dynamically call the code defined in the object that's really passed in. It might be the LinkedList code or the ArrayList code. In the early days of OO this dynamic lookup was considered by some to be a fatal flaw - too much overhead and almost guaranteed to cause virtual memory paging. Nowadays it's taken for granted.

More clear or less?
