What are implementation inheritance and interface inheritance?Implementation inheritance:
- It is achieved when a class is derived from another class in such a way that it inherits all its members.
- It is called as Class Inheritance.
- In this, it uses 'extends' keyword in Java.
- It uses 'IS A' relationship.
- The subclass is tightly coupled with superclass.
- If there is any changes to superclass will break the whole relationship.
Interface inheritance:
- It is achieved when a class inherits only the signatures of the functions from another class.
- It is called as Type inheritance and also called as subtyping.
- In this, it uses 'implements' keyword in Java.
- It is used for code reuse and polymorphism.
- It uses 'HAS A' relationship, there is no IS A relationship.
- It reduces coupling and implementation dependencies.
