The first word in the interface value points at what I call an interface table or itable (pronounced i-table; in the runtime sources, the C implementation name is Itab). The itable begins with some metadata about the types involved and then becomes a list of function pointers.
An interface promises nothing about an action! The source of the confusion is that in most languages, if you have an interface type that defines a set of methods, the class that implements it "repeats" the same methods (but provides definition), so the interface looks like a skeleton or an outline of the class.
42 The interface keyword indicates that you are declaring a traditional interface class in Java. The @interface keyword is used to declare a new annotation type. See docs.oracle tutorial on annotations for a description of the syntax. See the JLS if you really want to get into the details of what @interface means.
An interface is a good example of loose coupling (dynamic polymorphism/dynamic binding) An interface implements polymorphism and abstraction.It tells what to do but how to do is defined by the implementing class.
OP asked for interface, I assume it is extended with other properties and methods, you cannot do that with a type and also type is more limited than an interfaces in terms of general usability
Is there a way to change the type of interface property defined in a *.d.ts in typescript? for example: An interface in x.d.ts is defined as interface A { property: number; } I want to change...
Creating an array or tuple of keys from an interface with safety compile-time checks requires a bit of creativity. Types are erased at run-time and object types (unordered, named) cannot be converted to tuple types (ordered, unnamed) without resorting to non-supported techniques.
