No compile error when class doesn't completely implement an interface

Should I be getting compile errors on a class that doesn't implement all the methods that are specified in an interface that it implements?  I'm not.  Is this a run-time only check?

I just ran this in the System Log window and it did complain about the interface method not being implemented :

Code:
    // An interface that defines what a purchase order looks like in general
    public interface PurchaseOrder {
        // All other functionality excluded
        Double discount();
    }
 
    // One implementation of the interface for customers
    public class CustomerPurchaseOrder implements PurchaseOrder {
        
    }

 
So I guess you should be getting compile errors ?
