C# – How to implement two interfaces having same method names in a class

We have two interfaces IMan and IBirds. Both the interfaces defines a method named Eat with same name and signature. A class MyClass is inheriting both the interfaces. How can we implement method of both the interfaces in the derived class MyClass ?

Here is the code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

public interface IMan { void Eat(); } public interface IBirds { void Eat(); } public class MyClass : IMan, IBirds { void IMan.Eat() { Console.WriteLine("Roti"); } void IBirds.Eat() { Console.WriteLine("Earthworms"); } }

We use interface name to access its method to implement.

Similarly, we call a method by instantiating the desired interface and assigning object of the derived class to it.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

IMan man = new MyClass(); man.Eat(); IBirds birds = new MyClass(); birds.Eat(); //OR ((IMan)new MyClass()).Eat(); ((IBirds)new MyClass()).Eat();
