		TODO No need to interfaces ?

		Also this code block works even with Abser interface removed ?

		Also in this example: https://github.com/Furkan-Gulsen/turkce-go-egitimi#interfaces

		There is no need to interfaces, just remove the interface and use methods normally as circle.area(), square.area() ...

		What is our motivation to use Interfaces ???
