what is mixin and does ruby support multiple inheritence if yes then how and no then why?

Question

Accepted Answer

A mixin is a way to add functionality to a class without using inheritance. Ruby does not support multiple inheritance due to potential conflicts.

Mixins in Ruby are achieved using modules, which can be included in classes to add methods and attributes.
Ruby does not support multiple inheritance because it can lead to the diamond problem, where conflicting methods from different parent classes cause ambiguity.
Instead of multiple inheritance, Ruby encourages the use of mixins and composition to achieve code reuse and flexibility.
