Interfaces

[S3THST4]

I've seen interfaces used sometimes, but I never really get the point of using them. All it seems is that you're declaring the methods before using them.
Is it an important concept?

Can't say much about them myself... other than I've never used them!

Yeah same here. But from what I have seen is that it is just showing what the order is but I cannot say forsure.

It's a useful concept, especially in large systems. If any class implements a certain interface, you know for sure that that class implements all the methods in that interface. If it didn't implement the interface, you wouldn't know for sure. I suggest you check out Scala's 'trait' concept to get a good look at what interfaces should have been.

I see, BTW if someone knows how to properly use them, that would make a good topic for a tutorial.

I just started reading up on them, maybe I'll write a tutorial for C# on it. Here is a good page on it: http://www.codersource.net/csharp_tutorial_interface.html

Ok, back to the topic...

I just approved a very good tutorial which explains interfaces very well, IMO
