java abstract class or interface code example
Example 1: What are abstract methods in java
An abstract method is the method which does’nt have any body.
Abstract method is declared with
keyword abstract and semicolon in place of method body.
public abstract void <method name>();
Ex : public abstract void getDetails();
It is the responsibility of subclass to provide implementation to
abstract method defined in abstract class
Example 2: abstract class example in java
abstract class Animal{
public abstract void sound();
}
public class Dog extends Animal{
public void sound(){
System.out.println("Woof");
}
public static void main(String args[]){
Animal obj = new Dog();
obj.sound();
}
}
Example 3: abstract classes vs interfaces
Interface
1) Interface contains only abstract methods
2) Access Specifiers for methods in interface
must be public
3) Variables defined must be public , static ,
final
4) Multiple Inheritance in java is implemented
using interface
5) To implement an interface we use
implements keyword
Abstract Class
1) Abstract class can contain abstract methods,
concrete methods or both
2) Except private we can have any access
specifier for methods in abstract class.
3) Except private variables can have any access
specifiers
4)We cannot achieve multiple inheritance using
abstract class.
5)To implement an interface we use extends
keyword
