What is the maximum level of inheritance in Java?

Question

I was wondering if there is a finite amount of time that I can inherit for a class? Or what factors can affect this?

Answer 2

For all practical applications, Java inheritance trees can grow to infinite size.

Answer 3

There is no specific limit to the specification.

There is probably an implementation-specific limitation, if only that you are limited by available memory (class information must be stored somewhere).

And if you ever reach this limit, your design is still broken (anything that comes in double digits is definitely a code smell).

Answer 4

If the class is final , you cannot inherit it.

In addition, you can have endless inheritance trees. You can also endlessly implement using many interface classes.

Answer 5

No restrictions indicated. For all practical purposes, it is infinite.
