[Java] Inheritance in Java

Inheritance in Java

- Inheritance is a mechanism in which on object acquires all the properties and behaviors of parent object

- For method Overriding(so runtime polymorphism can be achieved)

- For code reusability

1. Example

class Test1{ float salary = 40000; } public class Test extends Test1{ int bonus = 10000; public static void main(String[]args){ Test a = new Test(); System.out.println(a.salary); System.out.println(a.bonus); } }

2. Why multiple inheritance is not supported in java?

- To reduce the complexity and simplify the language
