Qué diferencia hay entre importar y heredar una clase?

Question

No entiendo la diferencia

Answer 1

Importing a class, is making it so you can use that class without needing to qualify the full name in the current class you are writing.

import java.util.Scanner;

Extending a class is creating a new class that is a subclass of some other class. This will allow you to add or change functionality of the class you are extending.

public class EmptyList extends ArrayList {
@Override
// ...
}
