java inheritance abstraction programs 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: abstraction in java

Abstraction is defined as hiding internal implementation and showing only 
necessary information.
// abstract class
abstract class Addition
{
   // abstract methods
   public abstract int addTwoNumbers(int number1, int number2);
   public abstract int addFourNumbers(int number1, int number2, int number3, int number4);
   // non-abstract method
   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();
   }
}
