I have the following code:
public class HitController : MonoBehaviour, ICentroidHitListener
The way I understand it. HitController inherits from MonoBehaviour and implements the methods in the ICentroidHitListener.
But how can I code this if I just want it only to implement the methods in the ICentroidListener? Do I code it like this:
public class HitController : ICentroidHitListener
In which case that looks like HitController inherits from ICentroidHitListener
Implementation inheritance is the mechanism whereby a subclass re-uses code in a base class. By default the subclass retains all of the operations of the base class, but the subclass may override some or all operations, replacing the base-class implementation with its own.
Difference: implements means you are using the elements of a Java Interface in your class. extends means that you are creating a subclass of the base class you are extending. You can only extend one class in your child class, but you can implement as many interfaces as you would like.
Yes of course. Have you gone through a basic Java tutorial, covering inheritance and interfaces? Classes don't inherit from interfaces, they just implement them. You can extend (inherit from) a single class, but you can implement multiple interfaces.
Implementation inheritance is a relationship where a child class inherits behaviour implementation from a base class. Interface inheritance is when a child class only inherits the description of behaviour from the base class and provides the implementation itself.
If it's an interface, :
implements the interface. If it's a class, :
inherits from the class.
Therefore HitController : ICentroidHitListener
is correct.
