abstract subclass method in java code example
Example 1: abstract class in java
Sometimes we may come across a situation where we cannot provide
implementation to all the methods in a class. We want to leave the
implementation to a class that extends it. In such case we declare a class
as abstract.To make a class abstract we use key word abstract.
Any class that contains one or more abstract methods is declared as abstract.
If we don’t declare class as abstract which contains abstract methods we get
compile time error.
1)Abstract classes cannot be instantiated
2)An abstarct classes contains abstract method, concrete methods or both.
3)Any class which extends abstarct class must override all methods of abstract
class
4)An abstarct class can contain either 0 or more abstract method.
Example 2: abstract class java
abstract class Shape
{
abstract void sides();
}
class Triangle extends Shape
{
void sides()
{
System.out.println("Triangle shape has three sides.");
}
}
class Pentagon extends Shape
{
void sides()
{
System.out.println("Pentagon shape has five sides.");
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Triangle obj1 = new Triangle();
obj1.sides();
Pentagon obj2 = new Pentagon();
obj2.sides();
}
}
