Can we create instance variables of an interface

[aruna_mishra]

What will happen in the following code

Interface I
{
ArrayList A;
}
class B implements I
{
B()
{A al=new A();}
}

No.

An interface has one or more methods which are not defined [this is similar to an "Abstract Class"]. You must define it/them in the class which implements the interface.

Your example, however, does not "create an instance variable of an Interface" as your title suggests. Your "B" constructor will not compile because there is no datatype "A" - you have defined A as an instance of ArrayList. An instance of a class is not its own class; you cannot make an instance of an instance.

Because B implements I, it already has an ArrayList A as a field (as a result of its "hierarchy/inheritance"). You don't need to recreate it.

The field "ArrayList A" must be initialized in the interface I. Otherwise, you will get a compiler error...

Interface I
{
ArrayList A;
}
