Why is there no multiple inheritance in Java, but implementing multiple interfaces is allowed?

Question

Java doesn\'t allow multiple inheritance, but it allows implementing multiple interfaces. Why?

Answer 1

For example two class A,B having same method m1(). And class C extends both A, B.

 class C extends A, B // for explaining purpose.

Now, class C will search the definition of m1. First, it will search in class if it didn't find then it will check to parents class. Both A, B having the definition So here ambiguity occur which definition should choose. So JAVA DOESN'T SUPPORT MULTIPLE INHERITANCE.
