DAY2: Multiple inheritance is the ability for a class to
inherit behaviours from multiple types. Java
1. Inheritance, 2. Access specifiers,
does not support multiple inheritance of state
3. Data types, 4. Scanner class
(fields/properties) through classes.

different packages.
8. What is mean by Wrapper class? 15. What are the different methods available
in Scanner class?
A wrapper class is a class that encapsulates
types, so that those types can be used to nextInt(): Reads integer values.
create object instances and methods in
nextFloat(): Reads float value.
another class that needs those types.
nextDouble(): Reads double value.
9. What is default value of String?
nextBoolean(): Reads boolean value.
The default value of String is Nothing (a null
reference). nextLine(): Reads string value until newline
character ('\n') is encountered.
10. Why String is non primitive datatype?
next(): Reads string value until space or

12. What is default package in java?
Default Package doesn't have a name but it is
present by default and thus, it is named the
default package.

13. What is the super class of all java class?
The Object class is the superclass of all other
classes in Java and a part of the built-in
java. lang package. If a parent class isn't
specified using the extends keyword, the class
will inherit from the Object class
14. What is use of scanner class?
Scanner class is part of the ‘[Link]’ package.
The Scanner is mostly used to receive user
input and parse them into primitive data
types such as int, double or default String.
