Given this, there is always the possibility you may implement interfaces that contain identical members, and therefore have a name clash to contend with. To illustrate various manners in which you can resolve this issue, create a new Console Application named InterfaceNameClash. Now design three interfaces that represent various locations to which an implementing type could render its output:
