RE: Marker Interface
 
Marker interface is an interface with out having any implementation methods.
By implementing this interfaces, we will specify some special behaviour to implemented class.
Examples: Serializable, Cloneable
For example if we want to create a clone for a an object of class using clone()(clone()-- which is an object class method), then class need to implement Cloneable interface.
