what can java abstract classes have 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;
}
}
}
