Why Multiple Inheritances Are Non Supported Inwards Java

interface but interviewer was locomote along pressing on why purpose , may last he was only read whatsoever weblog post well-nigh it :). So later on the interview my friend comes to me as well as inwards commons verbalize he told me well-nigh this questions as well as inquire me the answer. Well this is really classical enquiry like Why String is immutable inwards Java; similarity betwixt these 2 questions is they are mainly driven past times blueprint determination taken past times java's creator or designer. Though next 2 argue brand feel to me on Why Java doesn't back upwards multiple inheritances:

Why Java doesn't back upwards multiple inheritance

1) First argue is ambiguity unopen to Diamond problem, see a course of report Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 has foo() method as well as and so B as well as C derived from Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 as well as has at that topographic point ain foo() implementation as well as at i time course of report D derive from B as well as C using multiple inheritance as well as if nosotros refer only foo() compiler volition non last able to attain upwards one's heed which foo() it should invoke. This is too called Diamond employment because construction on this inheritance scenario is similar to iv border diamond, run across below

           A foo()

           / \

          /   \

   foo() B     C foo()

          \   /

           \ /

            D

           foo()

In my see fifty-fifty if nosotros take away the overstep caput of diamond course of report Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 as well as allow multiple inheritances nosotros volition run across this employment of ambiguity.

Some times if you lot plow over this argue to interviewer he asks if C++ tin plow over the axe back upwards multiple inheritance than why non Java. hmmmmm inwards that instance I would essay to explicate him the minute argue which I lead hold given below that its non because of technical difficulty but to a greater extent than to maintainable as well as clearer blueprint was driving ingredient though this tin plow over the axe solely last confirmed past times whatsoever of coffee designer as well as nosotros tin plow over the axe only speculate. Wikipedia link has some adept explanation on how dissimilar linguistic communication address employment arises due to diamond employment field using multiple inheritances.

2) Second as well as to a greater extent than convincing argue to me is that multiple inheritances does complicate the blueprint as well as creates employment during casting, constructor chaining etc as well as given that at that topographic point are non many scenario on which you lot demand multiple inheritance its wise determination to omit it for the sake of simplicity. Also coffee avoids this ambiguity past times supporting unmarried inheritance amongst interfaces. Since interface solely lead hold method annunciation as well as doesn't furnish whatsoever implementation at that topographic point volition solely last only i implementation of specific method thence at that topographic point would non last whatsoever ambiguity.
