I am following the example from here:
In the section on Interfaces, it was noted that a class that implements an interface must implement all of the interface's methods. It is possible, however, to define a class that does not implement all of the interface methods, provided that the class is declared to be abstract. For example,
abstract class X implements Y {
// implements all but one method of Y
}
class XX extends X {
// implements the remaining method in Y
}
In this case, class X must be abstract because it does not fully implement Y, but class XX does, in fact, implement Y.
Here is my code:
public interface IRunnable {
public Object[] run(Graph<Object, ?> graph, HashMap<Object, Point> positions, int numIter);
public Object[] runSet(Graph<Object, ?> graph, HashMap<Object, Point> positions, int numIter, int [] itr);
public HashMap<Object, Point> runHelper(Graph<Object, ?> graph,HashMap<Object, Point> positions, int numIter);
public Force calculateForces(Graph<Object, ?> graph, HashMap<Object, Point> positions, Object mainVertex);
}
public abstract class Runnable implements IRunnable {
public Object[] run(Graph<Object, ?> graph, HashMap<Object, Point> positions, int numIter){
Object[] res = new Object[2];
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
res[0] = runHelper(graph, new HashMap<Object, Point>(positions), numIter);
long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
res[1] = endTime - startTime;
return res;
}
public Object[] runSet(Graph<Object, ?> graph, HashMap<Object, Point> positions, int numIter, int [] itr){
System.out.println(itr.length);
Object[] res = new Object[itr.length];
for ( int i = 0; i < itr.length; i++){
res[i] = run(graph, new HashMap<Object, Point>(positions), itr[i]);
}
return res;
}
public HashMap<Object, Point> runHelper(Graph<Object, ?> graph,HashMap<Object, Point> positions, int numIter){
Collection<Object> vertices = graph.getVertices();
HashMap<Object, Force> forces = new HashMap<Object, Force>();
for ( int i = 0; i < numIter; i++){
for ( Object vertex : vertices ){
forces.put(vertex, calculateForces(graph, positions, vertex));
}
for ( Object vertex : vertices ){
positions.put(vertex, ForceFunctions.calculateShift(positions.get(vertex), forces.get(vertex)));
}
}
return positions;
}
}
public class Eades extends Runnable {
public static Force calculateForces(Graph<Object, ?> graph, HashMap<Object, Point> positions, Object mainVertex){
ArrayList<Object> vertices = new ArrayList<Object>(graph.getVertices());
Force totalForce = new Force(0,0);
Force neighborForce = new Force(0,0);
Object neighborVertex = null;
for ( int i = 0; i < vertices.size(); i++){
neighborForce = null;
neighborVertex = vertices.get(i);
if ( mainVertex != neighborVertex ){
if ( graph.getNeighbors(mainVertex).contains(neighborVertex) ){
neighborForce = ForceFunctions.attractive(positions.get(mainVertex),positions.get(neighborVertex));
}
else
neighborForce = ForceFunctions.repulsive(positions.get(mainVertex), positions.get(neighborVertex) );
totalForce.add(neighborForce);
}
}
return totalForce;
}
But I get an error saying:
The type Runnable cannot be the superclass of Eades; a superclass must be a class
What am I doing wrong?
