Interfaces in Object Oriented Programming Languages. An interface is a programming structure/syntax that allows the computer to enforce certain properties on an object (class). For example, say we have a car class and a scooter class and a truck class. Each of these three classes should have a start_engine() action.
The epidermis is the very outer layer of the skin that provides protection from bacteria (thanks to it's pH level), becoming overloaded with water (it's waterproof) and from heat loss. It has four of five distinct layers to achieve this.
The outermost portion of the epidermis, known as the stratum corneum, is relatively waterproof and, when undamaged, prevents most bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances from entering the body. The epidermis (along with other layers of the skin) also protects the internal organs, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels against trauma.
