I think it means that an animal has inherited genes of more than one animal type, like it's parents are a cross
There are only two types of inheritance to begin with: single inheritance and multiple inheritance. Since they are mutually exclusive there is no such thing as hybrid inheritance.
Java does not allow the multiple inheritance of concrete classes, though it does allow a "hybrid" inheritance of one concrete class and multiple interfaces.
Java uses a hybrid system of inheritance. The designers chose a compromise between strict single inheritance and full multiple inheritance.See the related questions section below for more information.
Hybrid, probably. That means it would be unable to reproduce.
Single, multiple, multi-level, hierarchical and hybrid/virtual inheritance. Single inheritance applies when one class inherits from just one base class. Multiple inheritance applies when one class inherits from two or more base classes. Multi-level inheritance applies to a class that inherits from at least one base class that is itself derived from another base class. Hierarchical inheritance applies to a base class that is inherited by two or more separate derived classes. Hybrid inheritance combines multiple inheritance, multi-level inheritance and hierarchical inheritance. That is, where A is a common base class of derived classes B and C, and B and C are both base classes of derived class D. Hybrid inheritance is often used with virtual inheritance where B and C inherit from A virtually rather than directly. In these cases, the virtual base class is instantiated by the most-derived class in the hierarchy, D, and this instance is then shared by both B and C.
It was the designer's decision. One would have asked the similar question if it had been design the other way. It would not be fun with another hybrid, in inheritance design, language just like C++.
No. An inheritance is separate property.No. An inheritance is separate property.No. An inheritance is separate property.No. An inheritance is separate property.
Single Inheritance Multiple Inheritance Multilevel Inheritance
clearly define inheritance and the reason behind using inheritance
Depends on what Hybrid you get, a Prius Hybrid costs different than a Lexus Hybrid...
Inheritance refers to the concept by which the features from one class can be extended/made available in other classes. Java supports 3 forms of inheritance * Single Inheritance * Multiple Inheritance * Multilevel Inheritance (Can be implemented using interfaces)
