how to make an abstract class 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 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;
}
}
}
Example 3: 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();
}
}
Example 4: 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 that case we declare a class
as abstract by using abstract keyword on method
signature.In my framework I have created my
PageBase class as super
class of the all page classes.
I have collected all common elements
and functions into PageBase class and
all other page classes extent PageBase class.
By doing so, I don't have to locate very
common WebElements and it provides
reusability in my framework.
Also
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.
