extends is a Java keyword.
Used in class and interface definition to declare the class or interface that is to be extended.
Syntax:
Computer code
publicclass MyClassextendsSuperClass { //... } publicinterface MyInterfaceextendsSuperInterface { //... }
In Java 1.5 and later, the "extends" keyword is also used to specify an upper bound on a type parameter in Generics.
Computer code
class Foo<TextendsNumber>{/*...*/}
