Every developer in office is instructed to write no-nonsense code. That’s a protocol.

So when there is no exception, why should every developer create their own creative ways to code. Every one should follow a consistent methodology. Let that manager of your’s define the PMDs for you. I know you will gonna hate it. But then…

It makes sense to have some non abstract methods in an interface. This may be conveniently called default implementation.

Java 8 let you do this. Now you can define a default implementation, which is available to all implementing classes.

Below is a sample.

Interface

package com.bitbyte;

public interface Developer {
	
	public void writeReadableCode();
	
	default void thinkSimple(){
		System.out.println("At bitbyte, Developers think Simple");
	}

}

Implementing class

package com.bitbyte;

public class JavaDeveloper implements Developer {

	@Override
	public void writeReadableCode() {
		System.out.println("Please write Simple and readable code");
	}
}

Client Class

package com.bitbyte;

public class Client {

	public static void main(String args[]) {

		JavaDeveloper coolDeveloper = new JavaDeveloper();
		
		// abstract method call
		coolDeveloper.writeReadableCode();
		// Non abstract method call
		coolDeveloper.thinkSimple();
	}
}

Since you always have a jackAss in team, who still want his own implementation. He can do so.

package com.bitbyte;

public class CoolDeveloper implements Developer {

	@Override
	public void writeReadableCode() {
		System.out.println("Please write Simple and readable code");
	}
	
	@Override
	public void thinkSimple() {
		
		System.out.println("I am cool myself. I know what i am doing!!!");
		
	}
}
