Question
Chapter 8.4, Problem 23STQ
Program Plan Intro
Interface:
Interface is a reference type in Java, which contains a collection of abstract methods. It is very similar to class, but it cannot be instantiated, rather it is implemented by other classes.
An interface needs to the follow certain conditions such as:
- • One cannot instantiate an interface.
- • Interfaces do not contain any constructors.
- • All methods present in the interface are abstracts.
- • An interface does not contain any instance field.
- • An interface cannot be extended by a class.

In this exercise, you are going to build on your Circleclass from the previous exercise.
You are going to add 2 method, areaDifference and perimeterDifference. Both methods take a doubleradius of a second circle and return the difference from the current circle.
For example, if you create a Circle object with a radius of 4 and call areaDifference(3), you will return the diffence between the area of a circle with radius 4 and the area of a circle with a radius of 3. perimeterDifferencewould be the same.
Make sure you create at least one Circle and test and print the results of your methods.

given: public class Circle{private double radius;public Circle(double theRadius){radius = theRadius;}// Add a method called area that returns the area of a circle// using Math.PIpublic double area(){return Math.PI*radius*radius;}// Add a method called perimeter that returns the perimeter of a// circle using Math.PIpublic double perimeter(){return Math.PI*2*radius;}}
Redefine the equals method of the class Date (Display 4.13) so that it hasa parameter of type Object and follows the other guidelines we gave for anequals method. (Remember, you should use getClass(), not instanceof.)
