Java Inheritance Type

 In Java, there are five types of inheritance:

  1. Single inheritance: In this type of inheritance, a subclass is derived from a single superclass. The subclass inherits all the properties and behaviors of the superclass.

  2. Multilevel inheritance: In this type of inheritance, a subclass is derived from a superclass, and then another subclass is derived from that subclass. This creates a hierarchy of classes.

  3. Hierarchical inheritance: In this type of inheritance, multiple subclasses are derived from a single superclass. Each subclass inherits all the properties and behaviors of the superclass.

  4. Multiple inheritance: Java does not support multiple inheritance through classes, but it can be achieved through interfaces. In this type of inheritance, a subclass can inherit from multiple interfaces, each of which provides a set of methods that the subclass can implement.

  5. Hybrid inheritance: This is a combination of two or more types of inheritance. For example, a subclass can inherit from a superclass and also implement one or more interfaces.
