how to make a class abstract 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: how to create an abstract method in java

abstract class Scratch{
  // cannot be static
    abstract public void hello();
    abstract String randNum();
}

interface Other{
  //all methods in an interface are abstract
    public void bye();
    String randDouble();
}

Example 3: how to use an abstract class in java

interface methods{
    public void hey();
    public void bye();
}

//unable to implement all the abstract methods in the interface so 
// the other class automatically becomes abstract
abstract class other implements methods{
    public void hey(){
        System.out.println("Hey");
    }
}

//able to implement all the methods so is not abstract
class scratch implements methods {
    public void hey(){
        System.out.println("Hey");
    }
    public void bye() {
        System.out.println("Hey");
    }
}

Example 4: can abstract class have non abstract methods in java

abstract class AbstractDemo { // Abstract class
   private int i = 0;
   public void display() { // non-abstract method
      System.out.print("Welcome to Tutorials Point");
   }
}
public class InheritedClassDemo extends AbstractDemo {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      AbstractDemo demo = new InheritedClassDemo();
      demo.display();
   }
}
