Single Inheritance in Java

Single inheritance involves one class inheriting properties and methods from exactly one parent class. Below is a demonstration using the Animal and Dog classes.

class Animal {
    Animal() {
        System.out.println("Animal constructor called");
    }
    void eat() {
        System.out.println("I can eat");
    }
}

class Dog extends Animal {
    Dog() {
        System.out.println("Dog constructor called");
    }
    void bark() {
        System.out.println("I can bark");
    }
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Dog myDog = new Dog();
        myDog.eat();
        myDog.bark();
    }
}
