| For example, |
| suppose that we wanted to create a subclass named SubClass of another class named SuperClass. We would write: |
| class SubClass extends SuperClass { . . . } |
| This declares that SubClass is the subclass of the Superclass class. It also implicitly declares that SuperClass is the superclass of SubClass. A subclass also inherits variables and methods from its superclass's superclass, and so on up the inheritance tree. |
| A Java class can have only one direct superclass. |
| Java does not support multiple inheritance. |
| Creating a subclass can be as simple as including the extends clause in your class declaration. |
