How can a class, extending another class, extends Object class though multiple inheritance is not allowed?

Question

Since I am new to java. I want to know if multiple ineritance is not supported in java then how a class extends another class alongwith the default superclass Object?

Answer 1

Because although multiple inheritance isn't allowed, one class can inherit from another which can inherit from another - and eventually the class at the top of that chain will inherit from object (it'll do that if you don't specify any specific class for it to inherit from.)
