Ride Share: A Java Interface
Implementation
This presentation outlines the Ride Share application. It showcases a
practical use of Java interfaces. We will focus on core features and
scalability. This design allows for easy extension and modification of
services.
Core Classes: Ride and Driver
Ride Class Driver Class
The `Ride` class represents a ride request. Attributes include The `Driver` class represents a driver. Attributes include
`pickupLocation`, `dropoffLocation`, `rider`, and `price`. `name`, `carModel`, `availability`, and `location`.
Defining the `RideService`
Interface
Central Interface Key Methods
The `RideService` interface Important methods include
is central for ride `requestRide`, `acceptRide`,
operations. `cancelRide`, and
`calculateFare`.
Benefits
This setup offers decoupling and flexibility in design.
Implementing `RideService`: `BasicRideService`
1 Request Ride
2 Accept Ride
3 Cancel Ride
The `BasicRideService` implements all methods. The `requestRide` method manages basic requests. The `acceptRide` method
assigns drivers. The `cancelRide` method handles cancellations. `calculateFare` calculates fares.
Extending Functionality:
`PremiumRideService`
Surge Pricing
Premium Cars
Priority Pickup
The `PremiumRideService` extends the basic service. The `calculateFare`
method includes surge pricing. There are priority pickups and dedicated
support.
Benefits of Interface-Based Design
Flexibility
2
Easily switch service implementations.
Decoupling
1
Independent of specific
implementations.
Testability
3 Use mock implementations for testing.
Interfaces offer service decoupling. You can easily switch service implementations. Mock implementations aid unit testing. New
features are added without modifying core classes.
Code Example: Interface
Usage
RideService service = new BasicRideService();
RideService premiumService = new PremiumRideService();
This example shows using the `RideService` interface. It showcases
polymorphism. The same method calls give different behavior.

RideShare demonstrates Java interface power. It enables scalable ride-
sharing apps. This is key for diverse ride types.
