I have been reading java interview questions and read the following about implementation inheritance.
"When using implementation inheritance, make sure that the sub-classes depend only
on the behavior of the superclass, not on the actual implementation."

Basically, what it means is that you shouldn't rely on a method having a particular implementation when you call it. And I'd go further and say that the statement applies whether you're using interface inheritance or not.
When tutorials refer to 'behaviour', they usually mean methods; when they talk about 'implementation', they're referring to code. You can call a method without having to know the code it contains.

Isn't it funny how there's always time and money enough to do it WRONG?
