Abstract: Two of the fundamental uses of generalization in object-oriented software development are the reusability of code and better structuring of the description of objects. Multiple inheritance is one of the important features of object-oriented methodologies which enables developers to combine concepts and increase the reusability of the resulting software. However, multiple inheritance is implemented differently in commonly used programming languages. In this paper, we use Chidamber and Kemerer (CK) metrics to study the complexity and reusability of multiple inheritance as implemented in Python, Java, and C++. The analysis of results suggests that out of the three languages investigated Python and C++ offer better reusability of software when using multiple inheritance, whereas Java has major deficiencies when implementing multiple inheritance resulting in poor structure of objects.
