There are no drawbacks to multiple inheritance if multiple inheritance is precisely what is required to achieve your goal. If there are any drawbacks then it is only because of poor design, not multiple inheritance itself.

For instance, when designing classes to simulate vehicles, an amphibious vehicle would inherit the properties of both an off-road vehicle and a marine vehicle, therefore multiple inheritance would be an appropriate usage.

How ploymorphism and inheritance is different from that in Java and c plus plus?

C++ allows multiple inheritance while Java does not. In my opinion, multiple inheritance is not useful because it can get very confusing very quick. For polymorphism, C++ does early binding by default, while Java does late binding by default. Late binding is more useful than early binding.


What is single inheritance in c plus plus?

Multiple inheritance occurs when a class is derived directly from two or more base classes. class b1 {}; class b2 {}; class d: public b1, public b2 {}; // multiple inheritance class


How do you implement inheritance in c plus plus?

You implement inheritance by deriving a new class of object from an existing class of object. The existing class is known as the base class of the derived class.Classes declared final cannot be used as bases classes and classes without a virtual destructor (or a virtual destructor override) cannot be used as polymorphic base classes.


Can we implement multiple inheritance in java using package and interface?

Yes. Java does not support full fledged/proper multiple inheritance. But, whatever partial inheritance that Java supports can be implemented using interfaces Actually, java does not support multiple inheritance. You can achieve partial multiple inheritance using interfaces but java is not like C or C++ where you can do direct multiple inheritance. However, you can achieve partial multiple inheritance with the help of interfaces. Ex: public class FerrariF12011 extends Ferrari implements Car, Automobile {…} And this is under the assumption that Car and Automobile are interfaces. Here if you see, though you don't inherit concrete code from the Car or the Automobile interface, you do inherit skeleton methods that determine the way your class eventually behaves and hence this can be considered partial Multiple Inheritance.


Specification forms of inheritance in java?

single level inheritance eg ( class B extends Class A) Multilevel inheritance eg( class C extends class B and class B extends class A) multiple inheritance Class C inherits Class A features as well as Class B featues.This type of inheritance is not allowed in JAVA.

Demonstrate single inheritance in C plus plus?

struct base1 { // ... }; struct base2 { // ... }; struct derived1 : public base1 // single inheritance { // ... }; struct derived2 : public base1, public base2 // multiple inheritance { // ... };


Why not java allowed multiple inheritance and c plus plus allowed?

Because that's the way Java is designed. The designers felt that multiple inheritance was an unnecessary complication that offered little value so they did not include it in the JBC/JVM.


Why is multiple inheritance not possible in C?

C is not object-oriented -- you can't even use single inheritance let alone multiple inheritance.

Does c plus plus supports hierarchical inheritance?

Yes.


Drawbacks of c plus plus?

Not as commonly used. More schools are replacing their c++ classes with java classes.


How do you create multiple inheritance in c?

You don't. Inheritance is a feature of object oriented programming languages. C is not object oriented.


What is problem in multiple inheritance?

Java does not support direct multiple Inheritance. Harder to implement, not every language support it: C++ does, Java does not.

Type of inheritances in c plus plus?

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.


What is multiple inheritence in c?

C is not object oriented and therefore has no concept of inheritance of any kind.
