Types of Inheritance in Java

There are five types of inheritance . Types are 1)Single 2) Multilevel 3) Multiple
4) Hybrid 5) Hierarchical . But Java supports four types of inheritance . Java does not support " Multiple Inheritance ".

1)Single :
     
          public class A{
             ................
          }

         public class B extends A{           
            .................
         }

         Supports 

  2) Multilevel :

        public class A{
             ................
          }

         public class B extends A{           
            .................
         }
     
        public class C extends B{           
            .................
         }

     Supports

  3) Multiple :

       public class A{
             ................
          }

       public class B{
             ................
          }

       public class C extends A,B{
             ................
          }

      It's generate a compile time error. So Multiple inheritance does not support 
      in Java.

   4) Hybrid :

       public class A{
             ................
          }

       public class B extends A{
             ................
          }

       public class C extends A{
             ................
          }

       public class D extends B,C{
             ................
          }


        It's generate a compile time error . So the solution is given bellow .

        interface A{
             ................
          }

        interface B extends A{
             ................
          }

        interface C extends A{
             ................
          }

       public class D implements B,C{
             ................
          }

        Supports

   5) Hierarchical :

      public class A{
             ................
          }

         public class B extends A{           
            .................
         }
     
        public class C extends A{           
            .................
         }

      Supports
