What is extends in Java Programming Language

I am new to android but Still I did not understand what is extends in java.

Forget about programming for now (I will come later)

• Think about an animal, Let's say Tiger. It jumps, it runs, it
  eats, it sleeps...
• consider another animal cat. it also jumps, eats, sleeps,....
• they have some common things between them. these behaviors are common
  for animals. They are extending the common behavior from their
  ancestors.

Now come to the Programming world

Let's create those animals in Java. Every animals have some common things among them. right?

class Tiger {
   float weight;
   float height; 
	
   public void jump() {          
      System.out.println("hey, See the jump");
   }
	
   public void eat() {          
      System.out.println("Tiger is eating, don't disturb");
   }
}

class Cat {
   float weight;
   float height; 
	
   public void jump() {          
      System.out.println("hey, See the jump");
   }
	
   public void eat() {          
      System.out.println("I can eat veg");
   }
}

but in programming world, We should not repeat. (Repeating a code is a not good practice). you can see jump has common code between cat and tiger. eating is differentiating.

So we can tell put those common things inside a Super class Animal. and extending them to cat and tiger

class Animal {
   float weight;
   float height; 
	
   public void jump() {          
      System.out.println("hey, See the jump");
   }
	
   public void eat() {          
      
   }
}

class Tiger extends Animal{   
   //it has Animal's jump method 

   @Override	   
   public void eat() {          
      System.out.println("Tiger is eating, don't disturb");
   }
}

class Cat extends Animal{  
  //it has Animal's jump method  

   @Override
   public void eat() {          
      System.out.println("I can eat veg");
   }
}

In above code, we reused jump method and changed eat method for cat and tiger.

> The process by which one class acquires the properties(data members)

> The aim of inheritance is to provide the reusability of code so that a
> class has to write only the unique features and rest of the common
> properties and functionalities can be extended from the another class.

It is a concept of OOP. It is called Inheritance. Learn some concepts of inheritance here
