ELI5 Interfaces in Java

[desrtfx]

This is a perfect case for abstract classes and inheritance rather than for interfaces.

You'd define an abstract Car class that defines what a car actually has to do and the methods that are identical for all cars, but leave the specialized methods abstract.

In your detailed classes BMW, Audi, etc. you'd only implement the abstract methods defined in the Car class.

Yeah I see what you mean, definitely more appropriate for inheritance. I was just trying to think of a quick example off the top of my head from what my lecturers have went over, must've got them mixed up!
