Quick question.

Going through inheritance articles

I understand that multiple inheritance is not supported in c#.net. But you can still achieve the functionality by implementing multiple interfaces. Now my question is Can a child class inherit from two or more classes as long as they are abstract? Is it possible ?

What coupling does inheritance support?

I think inheritance supports tight coupling. It is because the child classes are exposed to the majority of the parent class. Correct me if my understanding is wrong

No.
A class can inherit from one and Oulu one base class, whether abstract or concrete. You can add as many Interfaces as you want, but one class is the absolute limit. C# does not support multiple inheritance in any form, outside the use of interfaces.

Thank you for answering first question. How about coupling of classes in inheritance? Are they tightly coupled or loosely coupled?

Think about it: inheritance from a single base class had no alternative but to be tightly coupled! :laugh:
