Inheritance in java and Superclasses(Object, Class)

Question

Is java.lang.Object superclass of all the custom class/objects inherited implicitly? I thought java didn\'t support multiple inheritance. The reason I ask is i

Answer 1

The custom class that you inherit from itself inherits directly or implicitly from Object, so you indirectly inherit from Object. The chain goes YourObject -> MiddleObject -> java.lang.Object. No multiple inheritance necessary.

Multiple inheritance is when you directly inherit from two unrelated classes. For example, if you have a class PoliceDog that inherits directly from both Canine and PoliceOfficer, that would be multiple inheritence.
