Why do many Collection classes in Java extend the Abstract class and also implement the interface (which is also implemented by the given abstract class)?

For example, class HashSet extends AbstractSet and also implements Set, but AbstractSetalready implements Set.

为什么许多Collection 类既继承了抽象类也实现了接口，如 HashSet extends AbstractSet implements Set，且 AbstractSet implements Set ？

It's a way to remember that this class really implements that interface.
It won't have any bad effect and it can help to understand the code without going through the complete hierarchy of the given class.

这种方式有助于记忆该类确实实现了该接口

这并没有什么坏处，这有助于我们理解代码而不用去 check 它的完整的类层级关系。
