Java: How to implement the interface?

Can we implement multiple inheritance in java using package and interface?

• Answer:

  Yes. Java does not support full fledged/proper multiple inheritance. But, whatever partial inheritance that Java supports can be implemented using interfaces Actually, java does not support multiple inheritance. You can achieve partial multiple inheritance using interfaces but java is not like C or C++ where you can do direct multiple inheritance. However, you can achieve partial multiple inheritance with the help of interfaces. Ex: public class FerrariF12011 extends Ferrari implements Car, Automobile {…} And this is under the assumption that Car and Automobile are interfaces. Here if you see, though you don't inherit concrete code from the Car or the Automobile interface, you do inherit skeleton methods that determine the way your class eventually behaves and hence this can be considered partial Multiple Inheritance.
