Inheritance is one of the building blocks of Java and it is used extensively in all java based applications. Inheritance is everywhere in Java. I can't think of one java project that I worked on, where inheritance wasn't used.
Inheritance is the feature wherein the properties/qualities of a parent class or interface is used in the child class. Both Classes & Interfaces are used in Java Inheritance
Hierarchical Inheritance is also known as Multi-Level Inheritance.
Multilevel Inheritance
A Scenario where one class is inheriting/extending the bahavior of another class which in turn is inheriting behavior from yet another class.
Ex: public class Automobile {…}
Public class Car extends Automobile {…}
Public class Ferrari extends Car {…}
This multilevel inheritance actually has no limitations on the number of levels it can go. So as far as java goes, it is limitless. But for maintenance and ease of use sakes it is better to keep the inheritance levels to a single digit number.
Actually, java does not support multiple inheritance. You can achieve partial multiple inheritance using interfaces but java is not like C or C++ where you can do direct multiple inheritance. However, you can achieve partial multiple inheritance with the help of interfaces.
Ex: public class FerrariF12011 extends Ferrari implements Car, Automobile {…}
And this is under the assumption that Car and Automobile are interfaces.
Here if you see, though you don't inherit concrete code from the Car or the Automobile interface, you do inherit skeleton methods that determine the way your class eventually behaves and hence this can be considered partial Multiple Inheritance

Single Inheritance
A Scenario where one class is inheriting/extending the behavior of just one super class.
Ex: public class Ferrari extends Car {…}
Java is not support multiple inheritance, but we can able to achieve it by using interface and abstract class concept.
Java doesn't support multiple inheritance.
Java does not support multiple inheritance
Java does not support direct multiple inheritance. You can implement partial multiple inheritance using interfaces. ex: public class ExMultInherit implements interface1, interface2, interface 3 { ... .... ...... }
Java does not support multiple inheritance.......
Java does not support multiple inheritance. It is done with the help of interfaces in java. a class can implement n number of interfaces, thus showing multiple inheritance. but a class cannot extend multiple classes in java.
C++ allows multiple inheritance while Java does not. In my opinion, multiple inheritance is not useful because it can get very confusing very quick. For polymorphism, C++ does early binding by default, while Java does late binding by default. Late binding is more useful than early binding.
When you need the benefits of multiple inheritance while avoiding the DDD (Deadly Diamond of Death). Java doesn't allow multiple inheritance anyway.

Java does not support direct multiple Inheritance. Harder to implement, not every language support it: C++ does, Java does not.
Java does not allow the multiple inheritance of concrete classes, though it does allow a "hybrid" inheritance of one concrete class and multiple interfaces.
C++ allows multiple inheritance while Java does not. In my opinion, multiple inheritance is not useful because it can get very confusing very quick. For polymorphism, C++ does early binding by default, while Java does late binding by default. Late binding is more useful than early binding.

A Program in Java that spawns multiple threads is called a multithreaded program in Java.
Yes. Java does not support full fledged/proper multiple inheritance. But, whatever partial inheritance that Java supports can be implemented using interfaces Actually, java does not support multiple inheritance. You can achieve partial multiple inheritance using interfaces but java is not like C or C++ where you can do direct multiple inheritance. However, you can achieve partial multiple inheritance with the help of interfaces. Ex: public class FerrariF12011 extends Ferrari implements Car, Automobile {…} And this is under the assumption that Car and Automobile are interfaces.

Interfaces are used in Java to accomplish most of the goals of Multiple Inheritance. For several reasons, Java only supports Single Inheritance for classes - i.e. a class can have only a single parent. The use of Interfaces is how Java attempts to implement most of the positives of the concept of Multiple Inheritance while avoiding its pitfalls.
