C++ Interface ..???

[joseph]

Hi,

What do you mean by interface in C++ ...?
In my knowledge , 2 points are related to the term INTERFACE in c++ ...

1)  Abstract base class --- which we use to do "PROGRAM  TO INTERFACE "
2)  Public functions in a class ---- which is for providing interface to the clients( users of the class )

It depends on the context, both things you mentioned are called an interface.

I meant that the word interface might mean different things depending on the situation you use them in. You provided two different contexts in your first post.
