Hi All,

Here is my finding.

class MyClass { }
interface MyInterface { }
public class SampleTest implements MyInterface extends MyClass {

public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("OK");
}
}

gives a compiler error. However, if you say..

public class SampleTest extends MyClass implements MyInterface {

works fine. Does anybody know the reason?

Only problem in your code is that
you are implements MyInterface first and then extends MyClass .
In java you should first extend class then you can implements Interface
as shown in code above.

It is just a matter of syntax. Java Specification mandates that extends should come before implements.

Java class cannot extends interface, it can only implements it. Interface can only extends other interface.
