9.7.Implementing an Interface #

To declare a class that implements an interface, you include an implements clause in the class declaration. Your class can implement more than one interface, so the implements keyword is followed by a comma-separated list of the interfaces implemented by the class.

By convention, the implements clause follows the extends clause, if there is one.
