Answer / sandeep
An interface that contains no methods. Eg: Serializable,
Cloneable, SingleThreadModel etc. It is used to just mark
java classes that support certain capability.

Answer / ganesh reddy
markble interface does not contains any methods,but
implementing of these interfaces will be recognise by Jvm
then it will decide that "this class is going do
something".for example for cloneable interface implements
by some class x which consists of a,b variable ,But I need
to interchange instance variables a to b and b to a (pass
by value)of class x and i want again the same values for a
and b.At this situations we can implement cloneable
interface.Like this markble interface are very useful as my
knowledge........

interfaces in Java</a> are used for marking a specific
behavior and we can only simulate the behavior by writing
custom interfaces without any methods and having
implementing them by other classes.

suppose in a class there is a code like this: { Set hs=new Hashset(); hs.add(new Emp("kathy",1000)); hs.add(new Emp("kathy",2000)); } how can u avoid the above code in your class as set won't allow duplicate objects?

Say you want to store the information about a number of pets in an array. Typical information that you could store for each pet (where relevant) would be • Breed of animal • Animal's name • Its birth date • Its sex • Whether it has been sterilised or not • When it is due for its next inoculation • When it last had its wings clipped For each type of pet (eg. dog, cat or bird) you would typically define a class to hold the relevant data. Note: You do not need to implement these classes. Just answer the following questions. 3.1.1 What would be the advantage of creating a superclass (eg. Pet) and declaring an array of Pet objects over simply using an array of Objects, storing each of the instances of the different pet classes (eg. Dog, Cat or Bird) in it? 3.1.2 Would you define Pet as a class or as an interface? Why? (2) (2)
