interface in go

The interface type in Go is a way to define a set of methods that a concrete type must implement. It allows for polymorphism and is similar to interfaces in other object-oriented languages. To create an interface in Go, you use the type keyword followed by the interface name and the list of method signatures. For example, type Writer interface { Write([]byte) (int, error) } defines an interface named Writer that requires a Write method that takes a slice of bytes and returns an integer and an error.

To implement an interface in Go, a type must provide definitions for all the methods in the interface. This is done implicitly, meaning there's no need to explicitly declare that a type implements an interface. If a type satisfies the method set of an interface, it is said to implement that interface.

Interfaces in Go are also satisfied implicitly, meaning a type doesn't need to explicitly state that it implements an interface. This makes Go's interfaces powerful and flexible. They enable you to write more modular and reusable code.

Overall, interfaces in Go are a powerful tool for defining and implementing abstractions, enabling polymorphism, and writing clean, modular code.
