Java - Interview Questions and Answers on Multiple Inheritance

Q1.  Does Java support Multiple Inheritance ?

Ans. Interfaces does't facilitate inheritance and hence implementation of multiple interfaces doesn't make multiple inheritance. Java doesn't support multiple inheritance.

Q2.  Why java doesn't support multiple Inheritance ?

Ans. class A {
      void test() {
          System.out.println("test() method");
      }
}

class B {
         void test() {
            System.out.println("test() method");
         }
}

Suppose if Java allows multiple inheritance like this,

class C extends A, B {
}

A and B test() methods are inheriting to C class.

So which test() method C class will take? As A & B class test() methods are different , So here we would Facing Ambiguity.
