Does run() method is declard i Thread?

Hi,
There is a question in MasterExam:
Which of the fallowing methods are defined in the Thread class?
Answer is: run() and start()

But Thread implements Runnable, which declares method run().
Does it mean, that when a class implements an interface, it defined method from that interface, but when it extends other class and overrides or not method from that class it don't defined that methods?

Maciej,
In my opinion start() is only defined in Thread class.run() is a part of Runnable interface.

I am not completely sure what you are asking... but if I assume correctly...

No. If a class implements an interface, it doesn't have to provide the implementations for the interface. The implementation may be from a class that it inherits from, or the class may be abstract.

I try in different way

interface A{
void method1();
}

class B{
void method2(){}
void method3(){}
}

class C extends B implements A{
public void method1(){}
void method2(){}
}

Which of fallowing methods are defined in class C?
1) method1()
2) method2()
3) method3()

I think that 1) and 2), because they are given explicity in C. Am I right?

No,I disagree It is the interface A and class B which gave birth to these methods.Class C is only taking the legacy from their parents.

Comparing to MasterExam answer for question about Thread:
1) is correst (run() is defined in Thread)
3) is incorrect (wait() isn't defined in Thread)

But what about 2)?
