Can interfaces have constructors in Java?
No, interfaces can’t have constructors for the following reasons −
- All the members of an interface are abstract, and since a constructor cannot be abstract.
Still, if you try to write a constructor within an interface it will generate a compile time error.
Example
public interface InterfaceTest { InterfaceTest(){ } public abstract void display(); public abstract void show(); }
Error
C:\Sample>javac InterfaceTest.java InterfaceTest.java:2: error: <dentifier> expected public InterfaceTest(){ ^ 1 error
