About interface

[Angela Narain]

I saw some examples where the Anonymous classes can be
used to create instance of interface.
Can an interface be instantiated ? Is it true ?

[William Brogden]

The way anonymous inner classes are constructed uses a sort of shorthand that names the interface but not a class being extended. This is shorthand for what is really created, a class extending Object implementing the interface.

Also when we say that Anonymous class can extend a class,
does it mean that we create an instance of a class that extends
the specified class
