How interfaces advantageous than multiple inheritance in Java?

In multiple inheritance, a class inherits from more than one superclass. But, java does not provide direct multiple inheritance. However, you can use interfaces to implement multiple inheritance in java. An interface contains a collection of abstract methods. All the methods in an interface are abstract. Java enables the use of multiple inheritance using interfaces. To understand why java does not support multiple inheritance, assume that two superclasses have the same method name and signature, but with different bodies, and the both the classes are inherited by a subclass. When the subclass tries to invoke the method of the superclasses, the compiler tries to identify the particular method the subclass is trying to invoke, but fails. To avoid this situation, you need to use the scope resolution operator provided in C++, which makes the program complex. Therefore, the feature of multiple inheritance is absent in Java, to avoid any confusion to programmers. Such a conflict does not occ
