What does “implements” do on a class?

Question

If a class implements another class... what does that mean? I found this code sample: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Php/Class/extendsandimplement.htm

But unfortunately

Answer 1

An interface can be thought of as just a list of method definitions (without any body). If a class wants to implement and interface, it is entering into a contract, saying that it will provide an implementation for all of the methods listed in the interface.
