7.  Inheritance

See also here. Java has simple inheritance, i.e., a class can only extend one superclass.

Class Members

The members of a class type are all of the following:

• Members inherited from its direct superclass, except in class Object, which has no direct superclass
• Members inherited from any direct superinterfaces
• Members declared in the body of the class.

Members of a class that are declared private are not inherited by subclasses of that class. Only members of a class that are declared protected or public are inherited by subclasses declared in a package other than the one in which the class is declared.

Constructors and static initializers are not members and therefore are not inherited.
