Enumeration interface has method hashMoreElements is used with refrence variable (Enumv), how can they be used
since they are not implemented ?
I meant it is an interface method so how can it be called – Enumv.hasMoreElements() it does not have a implementation .

Vector v = new Vector();
//v contains list of elements - Suppose
Enumeration Enumv = v.elements();
while(Enumv.hasMoreElements()) {
    System.out.println(Enumv.nextElement());
}

How is this possible?

    For your code,

    Enumeration Enumv = v.elements();
    

    This is what Vector is returning to you.

    public Enumeration<E> elements() {
        return new Enumeration<E>() {
            int count = 0;
    
            public boolean hasMoreElements() {
            return count < elementCount;
            }
    
            public E nextElement() {
            synchronized (Vector.this) {
                if (count < elementCount) {
                return (E)elementData[count++];
                }
            }
            throw new NoSuchElementException("Vector Enumeration");
            }
        };
    }
    

    As you can see, Vector returns an implemented Enumeration class (which annonymous to the developer).

    so how can it be called – Enumv.hasMoreElements() it does not
    have a implementation .

    It is implemented (as shown above).
