// Define the first interface with its own abstract method
interface InterfaceA {
    void methodA();
}

// Define the second interface with another abstract method
interface InterfaceB {
    void methodB();
}

// A class that "inherits" from both interfaces by implementing them
public class MultipleInheritanceDemo implements InterfaceA, InterfaceB {

    // Provide implementation for method from InterfaceA
    public void methodA() {
        System.out.println("Implementation of methodA from InterfaceA");
    }

    // Provide implementation for method from InterfaceB
    public void methodB() {
        System.out.println("Implementation of methodB from InterfaceB");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        MultipleInheritanceDemo obj = new MultipleInheritanceDemo();
        obj.methodA();  // Calls implementation from InterfaceA
        obj.methodB();  // Calls implementation from InterfaceB
    }
}

Explanation:

• Interfaces Defined: Two interfaces, InterfaceA and InterfaceB, are defined, each declaring a method (methodA and methodB, respectively).

• Implementing Multiple Interfaces: The class MultipleInheritanceDemo implements both interfaces, thus inheriting the abstract methods and providing concrete implementations.

• Behavior: When an instance of MultipleInheritanceDemo is created, it can use methods from both interfaces, effectively mimicking multiple inheritance by bundling behaviors from multiple sources.

Multiple Inheritance in Python

Python natively supports multiple inheritance, allowing a class to directly inherit from more than one parent class. This can be a very powerful feature, though it also requires careful design to avoid conflicts

# First parent class with its own method
class Parent1:
    def method1(self):
        print("Method from Parent1")

# Second parent class with another method
class Parent2:
    def method2(self):
        print("Method from Parent2")

# Child class that inherits from both Parent1 and Parent2
class Child(Parent1, Parent2):
    def method_child(self):
        print("Method from Child")

# Using the Child class
child = Child()
child.method1()       # Inherited from Parent1
child.method2()       # Inherited from Parent2
child.method_child()  # Own method

Explanation:

• Multiple Parent Classes: Parent1 and Parent2 each provide their own methods (method1 and method2).

• Child Inheriting Multiple Classes: The Child class inherits from both Parent1 and Parent2. This means it automatically has access to both method1 (from Parent1) and method2 (from Parent2), in addition to its own method_child.

• Method Resolution Order (MRO): Python uses a specific algorithm (C3 linearization) to decide which method to execute when there is a potential conflict. In this simple example, there is no conflict.

• Runtime Behavior: When an instance of Child calls method1() or method2(), Python dynamically determines which method to execute based on the class hierarchy.

Both examples illustrate how multiple inheritance can be achieved in different programming languages:

• Java: Uses interfaces to simulate multiple inheritance since a class can implement many interfaces.

• Python: Supports multiple inheritance directly through its class declaration syntax.
