Interface
From CSSEMediaWiki
>In general computer science terms, an interface is form of abstraction that is a specific construct designed to give external access to a program. This term gains a more specific meaning in OO programming.
An interface is a way of separating the abstract declaration of a concept from its implementation. This is conceptually similar to an Abstract class.
