Because JAVA is a "simple", "object oriented", "distributed", "secure", "multi-threaded", "high performance", "dynamic" language.

Lets consider a Class Test -

Class Test {

public int add ()
{
return 1 ;
}
}

Now Class Test1 and Class Test2 extends class Test

Class Test1 extends Test

{
public int add() --Method add is overridden here
{
return 2;
}

}

Class Test2 extends Test {

public int add() --Method add is overridden here
{
return 3;
}

}

Now consider a Class Test3 extends Test1, Test2

Now which version of method add will be implemented in Class Test3 ?
Will it be with return 3 or with return 2?

This will lead to confusion,right ?

So Java does not support multiple inheritance, means creators of Java does not support multiple inheritance.

Java absolutely support multiple inheritence in terms of Interface.We can extend one class only to avoid ambiguity problem.In interface we have to define the functions.So we don't get any ambiguity.In c++ it is big problem with multiple inheritence but in JAVA this thing is improved by introducing Interfaces
