Why multiple classes cannot be inherited apex?

As java provides multiple inheritance, so that class can inherit properties and methods of 2 different parent classes. But apex doesn't support that. Can anyone tell the conecpt/reason behind this?

Hi Darshit,

Apex syntax is mostly based on Java and it does not allow multiple inheritance.  Salesforce allows multiple interface implementation and to inherit any class it must be defined with keyword Virtual.

Something like below: 
Virtual class A
Virtual class B extends A
Class C extends B

Hope above information was helpful.

Thanks,
