what does abstract keyword mean in java 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: how to make abstract method in java

public abstract class Account {		//abstract class //perent class
    protected int accountNumber;
    protected Customer customerObj;
    protected double balance;
  	//constructor
  	public Account(int saccountNumber, Customer scustomerObj,double sbalance){
        accountNumber = saccountNumber;
        customerObj = scustomerObj;
        balance = sbalance;
    }
  	// abstract Function
    public abstract boolean withdraw(double amount); 
}   

public class SavingsAccount extends Account { // child class
    private double minimumBalance;
  	// constructor
    public SavingsAccount(int saccountNumber, Customer scustomerObj, double sbalance, double sminimumBalance) {
        super(saccountNumber, scustomerObj, sbalance);
        minimumBalance = sminimumBalance;
    }
	// Implementation of abstract function in child class
    public boolean withdraw(double amount) {
        if (balance() > minimumBalance && balance() - amount > minimumBalance) {
            super.setBalance(balance() - amount);
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
}
