Answer / srividhya.y
java does not support multiple inheritance because of ambiguity 0r confusion problem.but multiple inheritance can be achieved through the concept called interfaces.
A class can implement one or more interfaces.
class A extends B extends C
{
//Not possible
}
class A extends B implements C
{
// Possible
}
from interface to class we are inheriting use the keyword
implements.

Answer / umesh bhargava
Java follows single-inhertitance model that is a subclass
can only aquire the properties from a single super class.
The reason is some conflicting issues with multiple classes.
But java do support multiple interface inheritance that is
a sub class can implement more than one interfaces. It can
alternatively used in place of multiple inheritance...but
remember it is multiple interface inheritance.

Answer / settipalli rajesh
It is because of two reasons?
1.the derived class should contain the properties or functions with the same priority
2.multiple inheritance causes the object of "Object class would be created more than once...

Answer / k.mahesh
Java does not support multiple inheritance but this problem is solved through interfaces. Interfaces helps Java to achieve several advantages of multiple inheritances without the associated problems\. We can prevent some variables and methods from being accessed by a subclass by declaring them as private.
Always interface gives a template from which we can develop new classes. Interface gives the design part and implementation of the design we must do. Interface tells what to do, but not now how to do. Java supports multiple inheritance through interfaces so that we can take features of tow interfaces into our implementation file.

Answer / mythili pulluru
Java does not support a multiple inheritance because of following reason. for example class A
{
}
class B ExtendsA
{
//variables and methods
}
class c ExtendsA
{
//variables and methods
}
class B ExtendsA
{
//variables and methods
}
class D Extends B,C
{
//variables and methods
}
to compile this program it will give a compile time error because of class D felt in a confusion between B,C which class member to be a inherited(two class having same members) .to avoid this confusion java does not support multiple inheritance.

Answer / dewanshu
Java support method overriding means both superclass and
subclass can have the same method name and number of
arguments.If java support multiple inheritance, ambiguity
problem will arise if two or more superclass have the same
method name, and the super keyword will not be able to
decide which superclass to call.
TO remove such ambiguity problem java doen not support
multiple inheritance through extend but it support it
through interface.
