You need to implement it will explicitly by interface name thats call as Explicit Interface implementation.

Hello Uday,

you can do explicit interface method implementation as below.

interface IDog{
    //identify vehicle by model, make, year
    string IdentifySelf();    
}

interface ICat{
    //identify robot by name
    int IdentifySelf();
}

class Animal: IDog, ICat
{
    string IDog.IdentifySelf() // Explicit interface method implementation
    {
        return "Dog";
    }

    int ICat.IdentifySelf() // Explicit interface method implementation
    {
        return 5;
    }
}
class Program  
    {  
        static void Main(string[] args)  
        {  
            Animal animal= new Animal();  
  
            ((IDog)animal).IdentifySelf();  
            ((ICat)animal).IdentifySelf();  
  
            Console.ReadLine();
          
        }  
    }
