Interfaces

[Sagar Sharma]

Can an interface extend any number of interfaces?? If yes can anyone give some examples in the JDK of such interfaces.
Thanks
Sagar

you can extends interface from interface no restriction and as many as you can.
real example from jdk is Externizable extends Serializable which i know.

Hi Sagar
No not at all, an interface or a class can never extend more than one interfaces or classes. As its gonna completely break the Single Inheritance rule of Java.
what do you think..please post if you need more clarification.
cheers

Yes!
Any interface can extend any number of other interfaces. This is in contrast to the linear inheritance hierarchy between classes.

At the above URL in Q No. 43, one of the answers is (c) which means that extending from multiple interfaces is possible.
Pls have a look and comment on the same.

Look at JLS: 9.1.2 Superinterfaces and Subinterfaces
