Why does java doesnot support multiple inheritance?
Answer Posted / deep
Multiple inheritance Oops i think diamond problem..
class A {
public void x() {
System.out.println("Hello");
}
class B extends A {
public void x() {
System.out.println("Hello");
}
class C extends A {
public void x() {
System.out.println("Hello");
}
// Main class
class AB extends B,C // Remember this is not possible in java, a class can extend only one class in java..
{
public static void main(String args[]) {
AB a = new AB();
a.x(); // compiler gets confused whom should i call.. which methods should i invoke since both methods has same name i.e public void x(), complier get scared and raise an error of ambiguity
}
}
To avoid this type of situation, designers of java decided that a class can extends only one class so there would be no ambiguity of methods.. and to over come this issue they added interface..
class can implements n number of interface but can extend only one class.. a interface can extends n number of interface..
Variables declared inside interface are by default,, static and final.. and methods are abstract i.e unimplemented methods, that doesn't have body.. methods of interface are by default abstract and public..
you can make interface public or depends on your requirement.. if you want a interface to access outside of another package better make it public cause non public classes are confined within same package..
