Java Multiple Inheritance

Question

My understanding is that multiple inheritance is not supported in Java.

However, is it supposedly supported in Java through "Method overloading" or "Method overriding"?

I am not comprehending the Method overloading or overriding. Could any of you show an example?

Answer 1

Multiple inheritance makes it possible to create a class inherited from several superclasses. Unlike some other popular object-oriented programming languages, such as C ++, multiple inheritance from classes is prohibited in Java. Java does not support multiple class inheritance because it can lead to a diamond-shaped problem. And instead of looking for ways to solve this problem, there are better options for how we can achieve the same result as multiple inheritance.

The diamond-shaped problem can be solved by “approving the composition before inheritance”

Answer 2

Multiple inheritance using classes is not possible in Java so we have the concept of interfaces.

You can implement as many interfaces you want for your class but then again the class is responsible for implementing all the methods declared in the interface.

You can call a method of a particular interface using the super keyword if they have matching method names when compared to other interfaces.
