Murach's C# - How to work with interfaces, structures, and class libraries

Although a C# class can inherit only one class, it can also implement one or more interfaces. So in this chapter, you'll learn how to create and implement a C# interface, and you'll specifically learn how to implement the ICloneable, IEnumerable, and IEnumerator interfaces. After that, you'll learn how to create and use structures, which are similar to classes but define value types rather than reference types. And you'll learn how to make your classes easier to use by storing them in class libraries.
