Java Interface Clarification

Question

I am confused with a line in Oracle Java docs here under the heading Interfaces In Java, which says:

Method bodies exist only for default methods and static methods.

As we cannot define method body in interface, I am confused if this line has some other meaning. Appreciate if somebody can help me in understanding this.

Answer 1

In Java 8, interfaces may contain default implementations for their methods, as well as implemented static methods.
