The keyword 'extends' is used when a sub class inherits a super class or a sub interface inherits a super interface. A sub class can EXTEND only one super class in Java but a sub interface can EXTEND multiple interfaces. The keyword 'implements' is used when a class uses an interface. The key point to note here is that a class can EXTEND only one super class but the same class can IMPLEMENT multiple interfaces at a time but while defining EXTENDS should come first..

Java can only extends one class, while implements many interface.

whenever we need to define the methods we use implements and for inheritance we use extends
