Answer / midhun h kumar
No ...
Multiple inheritance is not allowed in Java...
but infact we can achieve the functionality using interfaces...
we can define interfaces and any class can implement these
interfaces..
a class can implement any number of interfaces but can
extend only one class..
thus we can achieve what we expect to get from multiple
inheritance thru interfaces...

Multiple inheritance is not allowed in java because it creates
DIAMOND PROBLEM.
DIAMOND PROBLEM: Suppose classes B and C extend A and
class D extends to both B and C(multiple inheritance). Now,
if D calls a method in A then it does not know from which
class it has to inherit(either B or C). This is called
diamond problem.

Answer / bhasker tiwari
All the answer given above are True .
but i would like to add few more.
Reasons are follows:
1.As java creates .class for each Java file.and As all java
files has there own variable and methods so incase of
Multiple inheritence all will mess up , so to avoid this
situation Java do not allow Multiple Inheritence.
2. the above discussed Diamond problem is also a Reason.

"Can some one explain about this case.
-> A is a super class and B extends from A.
-> java.lang.Object is super class for all classes.
now in this case B extends from A and B extend from java.lang.Object(because is default super class) then it is multiple inheritence right? "
Mr Suresh Aelidhe,
If a class extends any other class then it wont extends Object class
