syntax for abstract method 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();
}
