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

Consider a scenario where Test1, Test2 and Test3 are three classes. The Test3 class inherits Test2 and Test1 classes. If Test1 and Test2 classes have same method and you call it from child class object, there will be ambiguity to call method of Test1 or Test2 class but there is no such ambiguity for interface as in interface no implementation is there.
