class implementing an interface

[nirjari patel]

A class implementing an interface has to define all methods in an interface.

ArrayList implements List interface. List interface has 25 abstract methods. When I checked ArrayList class , it has 20 methods. Some of which may be completely new for this class. So, does this ArrayList class only contain all methods in List interface or only methods that have some code in them ?

Thanks

Does ArrayList extend another class, which already implements some methods from the List interface ?

Please don't be annoyed, but I have pulled rank and deleted the solution and explanation, NP will actually have a chance to learn how to navigate the API documentation.
