Which three are valid method signatures in an interface?
  1. private int getArea();
  2. public float getVol(float x);
  3. public void main(String [] args);
  4. public static void main(String [] args);
  5. boolean setFlag(Boolean [] test);
1 and 2
2, 3 and 5
3, 4, and 5
2 and 4
Answer: Option
Explanation:

(2), (3), and (5). These are all valid interface method signatures.

(1), is incorrect because an interface method must be public; if it is not explicitly declared public it will be made public implicitly. (4) is incorrect because interface methods cannot be static.

With java 9 even private methods are allowed in interface.

I thought we can use static methods in interface in java 8 now, you need to update this answer if I am right.

Why is the Boolean type method correct? I think the interface methods all have a public type but the 5 have Boolean, I want a full explanation.

Yes, you can use public static void main(string ar[])
in the interface but it only works as a starting point of that particular interface.
Not as a class psvm both are different.

What a difficult language is this java?

Ashvin said:   1 decade ago
Can any one tell that do we generally put psvm in an interface?

Hi,

Let me know if we can declare main method in an interface ?

Mohammed Refeekh said:   1 decade ago
Can have a interface method protected or default?

Amaziane said:   1 decade ago
We can't have a protected interface in java, but default yes, and default means implicitly public access.

Amaziane said:   1 decade ago
Main method in this example doesn't mean the main method of class, it means just a simply and normally method with name main because main isn't a reserved keywords.
