6 B (Ii) Multiple Inheritance by Interface in Java

The document discusses multiple inheritance by interface in Java. It demonstrates how a class can implement multiple interfaces to achieve multiple inheritance. The Animal class implements the AnimalEat and AnimalTravel interfaces, inheriting their eat() and travel() methods. The Animal class provides implementations of these abstract methods. The Demo class creates an Animal object and calls its eat() and travel() methods to show multiple inheritance by interface.

Multiple inheritance by Interface in Java

An interface contains variables and methods like a class but the methods in an interface are
abstract by default unlike a class. Multiple inheritance by interface occurs if a class implements
multiple interfaces or also if an interface itself extends multiple interfaces.

A program that demonstrates multiple inheritance by interface in Java is given as follows:

Example
 Live Demo
interface AnimalEat {

   void eat();

interface AnimalTravel {

   void travel();

class Animal implements AnimalEat, AnimalTravel {

   public void eat() {

      System.out.println("Animal is eating");

   }

   public void travel() {

      System.out.println("Animal is travelling");

   }

public class Demo {

   public static void main(String args[]) {

      Animal a = new Animal();

      a.eat();

      a.travel();

   }

Output
Animal is eating

Animal is travelling

Now let us understand the above program.

The interface AnimalEat and AnimalTravel have one abstract method each i.e. eat() and travel().
The class Animal implements the interfaces AnimalEat and AnimalTravel. A code snippet which
demonstrates this is as follows:

interface AnimalEat {

   void eat();

interface AnimalTravel {

   void travel();

class Animal implements AnimalEat, AnimalTravel {

   public void eat() {

      System.out.println("Animal is eating");

   }

   public void travel() {

      System.out.println("Animal is travelling");

   }

In the method main() in class Demo, an object a of class Animal is created. Then the methods
eat() and travel() are called. A code snippet which demonstrates this is as follows:

public class Demo {

   public static void main(String args[]) {

      Animal a = new Animal();

      a.eat();

      a.travel();

   }
