What are interfaces and properties in C#?

What are interfaces in C# and how do they work?

Interfaces in C# are contracts that define a set of methods and properties that a class must implement. They allow for polymorphism and help in achieving loose coupling.

Can you explain how properties work in C#?

Properties in C# are special methods called accessors that allow you to get or set the values of private fields. They provide a way to control access to the data.

How can I implement an interface with properties in a class?

To implement an interface with properties, you define the interface with the desired properties, then implement those properties in your class, ensuring to provide the get and set accessors.

Can you give me a code example of this?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

public interface IAnimal
{
    string Name { get; set; }
    void Speak();
}

public class Dog : IAnimal
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public void Speak() => Console.WriteLine("Woof!");
}
