Question

Does java support multiple inheritance? (https://i.stack.imgur.com/PkhMD.png)

Answer 1

If we are talking about classes and one class extend 2 other classes at the same time, the answer is no.

But, If you are using Java 8, you can achieve multiple inheritance with interfaces with default methods.

Answer 2

The short answer is No.

But developers still wanted something similar so they created interfaces! A class can implement as many interfaces as you want!
