    Where did you get this example from?
    final static int a,b;
    Why do you have this statement in the interface?

    Interfacedemo.java:25: illegal start of expression
    The compiler is confused by what looks like the start of a new method within another method. You can not nest one method within another. Finish one with its ending } before starting another

    This is how i wrote again the code . . . but it got failed to execute correctly.

    interface Test
    {
     
          final  int a;
          final   int b;
     
           int compute(int a,int b);
     
     
     
    }
     
     
    class Sum implements Test
    {
     
     
     
       int compute(int x, int y)
     
          {
              System.out.println("Inside subclass");
     
    	return(x*y);
          }
     
     
     }
     
     
     
     
    class Interfacedemo 
    {
     
     public static void main(String args[])
      {
     
          System.out.println("Interface Example . . .");
     
     
     
          Test t;
     
          Sum s;
     
          t = s;
     
     
     
      System.out.println("Interface Example . . ." + t.compute(10,20));
     
     
       }
     
     
    }

    Interfacedemo.java:4: = expected
    The compiler wants the variables to be assigned a value. That is done with the = followed by a value.
    Have you read the Tutorial on how to write an interface:
    Start here: // Trail: Learning the Java Language: Table of Contents (The Java™ Tutorials)
    and find interface
