abstraction use in java code example
Example 1: abstraction in java
Abstraction is defined as hiding internal implementation and showing only
necessary information.
abstract class Addition
{
public abstract int addTwoNumbers(int number1, int number2);
public abstract int addFourNumbers(int number1, int number2, int number3, int number4);
public void printValues()
{
System.out.println("abstract class printValues() method");
}
}
class AbstractMethodExample extends Addition
{
public int addTwoNumbers(int number1, int number2)
{
return number1 + number2;
}
public int addFourNumbers(int number1, int number2, int number3, int number4)
{
return number1 + number2 + number3 + number4;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Addition add = new AbstractMethodExample();
System.out.println(add.addTwoNumbers(6, 6));
System.out.println(add.addFourNumbers(8, 8, 3, 2));
add.printValues();
}
}
Example 2: what is abstraction 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 that case we declare a class
as abstract by using abstract keyword on method
signature.In my framework I have created my
PageBase class as super
class of the all page classes.
I have collected all common elements
and functions into PageBase class and
all other page classes extent PageBase class.
By doing so, I don't have to locate very
common WebElements and it provides
reusability in my framework.
Also
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.
