how to create abstract class using 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: 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
