The different between extends and implements

In Java, `extend` and `implement` are keywords used for inheritance and interface implementation, respectively. Here's the difference between the two:
1. `extend`:
   - Used to inherit from a class.
   - A class can extend only one class (single inheritance).
   - The subclass inherits all the public and protected methods and fields of the superclass.
   - The subclass can add new methods and fields, and also override the methods of the superclass.
   Example:

class Animal {
    void makeSound() {
        System.out.println("Animal makes a sound");
    }
}

class Dog extends Animal {
    void makeSound() {
        System.out.println("Dog barks");
    }
}


2. `implement`:
   - Used to implement an interface.
   - A class can implement multiple interfaces.
   - The implementing class must provide implementations for all the methods declared in the interface.
   - Interfaces can only have method signatures and constants (Java 8 and earlier). From Java 9 onwards, interfaces can have private methods and default methods (methods with a default implementation).
   Example:

interface Animal {
    void makeSound();
}

class Dog implements Animal {
    public void makeSound() {
        System.out.println("Dog barks");
    }
}


In summary, `extend` is used for class inheritance, while `implement` is used for implementing interfaces.
