ABSTRACT CLASS

• “Abstraction” is a process of hiding the


implementation details and showing
only functionality to the user.

INTRODUCTION • It shows only essential things to the user


and hides
the internal details.
• There are two ways to achieve
• Abstractclass
abstraction in java (0 to 100%)
• Interface (100%)
• An abstract class is a class that is declared ”abstract”
it may or may not include abstract methods.
• A method which is declared as “abstract” and
does not have implementationis known as
an abstract method.
• Syntax :
ABSTRACT CLASS &
abstract class className
METHOD {
abstract dataType methodName();
} class childClass extends className
{
dataType methodName(){}
}
• An abstract class must be declared with an
abstract keyword.
• It can have abstract and non-abstract methods.
• It cannot be instantiated.
POI NTS • It can have constructors and static methods also.
TO • It can have final methods which will
force the subclass not to change the body
REMEMBER of the method.
• Any class which contains an abstract method
must also be abstract.
abstract class Animal //Abstract Class Declaration
{
public abstract void sound(); //Abstract Method Declaration
}
public class Dog extends Animal //Dog inherits from
{ Animal
public void sound()
{
System.out.println("Woof");
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
Animal obj = new Animal();
obj.sound();
}
}

OUTPUT : Woof
abstract class MyClass
{
p u b l i c void d i s p ( )
{
System.out.println("Concrete method o f parent c l a s s " ) ;
}
abstract p u b l i c void d i s p 2 ( ) ;
}
class Demo extends MyClass
{
p u b l i c void d i s p 2 ( )
{
S y s t e m . o u t . p r i n t l n ( " ab s t r ac t method has
implemented");
}
p u b l i c s t a t i c void main(String a r g s [ ] )
{
Demo obj = new Demo();
obj.disp2();
}
}
OUTPUT : overriding abstract
method
USE OF ABSTRACT
CLASS
• To share code among several closely related classes.
• If classes that extend your abstract class have many common
methods or fields or require access modifiers other than
public (such as protectedand private).
• You want to declare non-static or non-final fields. This
enables you to define methods that can access and modify
the state of the object to which they belong.
