Which one of these is a proper definition of a class TestClass that cannot be sub-classed? (choose one)
final class TestClass { }
abstract class TestClass { }
native class TestClass { }
static class TestClass { }
private class TestClass { }

Answer is 1.
My question is: does 'subclassing' a class mean exactly the same as extending it?

Thanks.

Yes, that is correct. Subclassing is another term that means the same as extending.
