Suppose we have 3 classes A,B,C. Here C is derived from classes A and B. HERE A and B classes have same method suppose print(). As we know we can call base class methods by creating objects of derived class. Suppose if i call the print() method which is in both A and B classes in this situation complier does not know which method to call.
We go for inheritance because "A CLASS CANT EXTENDS 2 or MORE CLASSES, But it can implement any number of interfaces "Hence in Java multiple inheritance is achieved by extending a class and implementing interface (nothing but abstract class).
