what's the purpose of interfaces in java code example

Example 1: how to implement a interface in java

interface methods{
 public static hey(); 
}

class scratch implements methods{
  // Required to implement all methods declared in an interface 
  // Or else the class becomes abstract
  public static hey(){
   System.out.println("Hey"); 
  }
}

Example 2: why we use interface in java

interface Animal {
   void child();
}
class Cat implements Animal {
   public void child() {
      System.out.println("kitten");
   }
}
class Dog implements Animal {
   public void child() {
      System.out.println("puppy");
   }
}
public class LooseCoupling{
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      Animal obj = new Cat();
      obj.child();
   }
}
