what is abstract class 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: 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 3: java abstract class
abstract class Shape
{
abstract void sides();
}
class Triangle extends Shape
{
void sides()
{
System.out.println("Triangle shape has three sides.");
}
}
class Pentagon extends Shape
{
void sides()
{
System.out.println("Pentagon shape has five sides.");
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Triangle obj1 = new Triangle();
obj1.sides();
Pentagon obj2 = new Pentagon();
obj2.sides();
}
}
Example 4: abstraction 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.
Example 5: abstract class in java
public abstract class GraphicObject {
abstract void draw();
}
Example 6: abstract class example in java
abstract class Animal{
public abstract void sound();
}
public class Dog extends Animal{
public void sound(){
System.out.println("Woof");
}
public static void main(String args[]){
Animal obj = new Dog();
obj.sound();
}
}
