What happens when you implement an interface?
When a class implements an interface, you can think of the class as signing a contract, agreeing to perform the specific behaviors of the interface. If a class does not perform all the behaviors of the interface, the class must declare itself as abstract. A class uses the implements keyword to implement an interface.
How do I extract an interface?

- Right-click the name of the class, select the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu and select Extract Interface from the Preview window popup.
What does extract interface mean?

Can we implement method in interface?
All methods of an Interface do not contain implementation (method bodies) as of all versions below Java 8. Starting with Java 8, default and static methods may have implementation in the interface definition. One benefit of using interfaces is that they simulate multiple inheritance.
What is the main use of interface?
Why do we use interface ? It is used to achieve total abstraction. Since java does not support multiple inheritance in case of class, but by using interface it can achieve multiple inheritance . It is also used to achieve loose coupling.
How to use interface refactoring in Visual Studio?
Imagine having classes for various animals (Dog, Cat, Bird) which might all have common methods, such as Eat, Drink, Sleep. Using an interface like IAnimal would allow Dog, Cat, and Bird to have a common “signature” for these methods.
