Does Java supports Multiple Inheritance

 NO. Java does not support multiple inheritance for classes.

    Let us understand the reason behind this.

    Consider the following example:

    class Animal{

        public void speaks(){

                System.out.println("Animal speaks...");

        }

    }

    class Human{

        public void speaks(){

                System.out.println("Animal speaks...");

        }

    }

    

    //suppose if multiple inheritance was allowed

    class Species extends Human, Animal{

        public static void main(String[] args){

                Species s = new Species();

                s.speaks();     //this line is ambiguous

        }

    }

        Here both Human and Animal contains speaks() method, Since Species class is trying to access this method here, JVM can't decide which class method to choose hence it renders a compile time error.

Note: Mutiple inheritance is not allowed for Java classes. But for interfaces, multiple inheritance is allowed.
