What are the advantages of multiple inheritence?

[s.fox]

Hello,

Advantages of multiple inheritances:

Multiple inheritance allows a class to inherit the functionality of more than one base class thus allowing for modelling of complex relationships

You categorize classes in many ways. Multiple inheritance is a way of showing our natural tendency to organize the world. During analysis, for example, we use multiple inheritance to capture the way users classify objects.

By having multiple super-classes, your subclass has more opportunities to reuse the inherited attributes and operations of the super-classes.

Class Person
Class Student extends Person.
Class Employee extends Employee.

Class EmployedStudent extends Person and Employee.
This sort of thing can be difficult if you don't have multiple inheritance (although it could be done with adjectival types).

Of course, if you bring repeated inheritance into the mix, you can have something like a DoublelyEmployedStudent (has two jobs and is studying).

Don't help him with his homework; it's obvious that all his posts are just homework questions brazenly posted onto the forum. Discussing inheritance is one thing, just a complete "do it for me" is another.

Closed - homework is not asking others to do the work.
