Problems of multiple inheritance

• Java does not support multiple inheritance of classes, and standard methods do not circumvent this restriction, as classes can maintain state (with instance variables), but interfaces cannot.

• Default methods offer a limited form of multiple inheritance of behavior, allowing a class to inherit behaviors from multiple interfaces with default methods.

• Conflicts can occur when two interfaces implemented by a class have the same default method, as in the case of two interfaces, Alpha and Beta, both with the reset() method.

• Rules for resolving conflicts:

• 1 The class implementation takes priority over the default interface implementation.

• 2 If two interfaces have the same default method and the class does not override the method, an error will occur.

• 3 If one interface inherits another and both define the same default method, the inherited interface version takes precedence.

• To explicitly reference a standard implementation of an interface, you can use the syntax: NameInterface.super.NameMethod().
