Is there more to an interface than having the correct methods

Question

So lets say I have this interface:

public interface IBox
{
   public void setSize(int size);
   public int getSize();
   public int getArea();
  //...and so          


        

Answer 1

A great example of how interfaces are used is in the Collections framework. If you write a function that takes a List, then it doesn't matter if the user passes in a Vector or an ArrayList or a HashList or whatever. And you can pass that List to any function requiring a Collection or Iterable interface too.

This makes functions like Collections.sort(List list) possible, regardless of how the List is implemented.
