DESCRIPTION

In the above program at LINE C, we have created an interface vehicle with abstract methods companyName, vehicleName, vehicleType, seatArrangement and we also created one more interface otherFeatures at LINE D, with mileagePerLiter method which extends vehicle. we have create two classes Bike and Carat LINE E and LINE F, Bike implements vehicle it provides body for vehicle methods and Car implements otherFeatures and provides body for only mileagePerLiter, since Car extends Bike methods in Bike are accessible by Car also. At LINE A we have created an object for Bike with vehicle reference and accessed the methods of Bike class. At LINE B we have created another object for Car with otherFeatures reference

THINGS TO TRY

At LINE E in class Bike remove the method companyName it shows a compilation error as java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: The type Bike must implement the inherited abstract method vehicle.companyName(String)

Try for the following code :

v1.mileagePerLiter(20);
The code throws compilation error, since the subclass methods are not accessible by super class.
