Java Abstract Class Example Code

The document explains the concept of abstract classes and methods in Java, highlighting that abstract classes cannot be instantiated directly and must contain at least one abstract method. It provides a code example demonstrating an abstract class 'Product' with subclasses 'Electronics' and 'Clothing' that implement the abstract method 'calculateDiscount'. The main class 'AbstractExample' showcases the creation of objects from the subclasses and displays their information and discounts.

Abstract class

Abstract Class and method in Java


In Java, an abstract class is a class that cannot be instantiated on its own. The keyword
‘abstract’ is used to declare a class or method as abstract.
Key Features:
• Cannot be Instantiated: Objects of abstract class cannot be created directly. A
subclass that extends the abstract class need to be created and has to be
instantiated.
• Abstract Methods: An abstract class can have abstract methods, which are
methods declared without a body. The subclass provides the implementation for
all such abstract methods. However, if it does not, then the subclass must also be
declared abstract.
Syntax of declaring a method as abstract:
abstract void myMethod();
A class should be declared abstract if it contains at least one abstract method.
• Non-Abstract Methods: An abstract class can also have regular methods with full
implementations, which can be inherited by subclasses.
• Constructors: Although an abstract class cannot be instantiated directly, it can
have constructors. These constructors are called when an object of a subclass is
created.
• Fields and Methods: Abstract classes can have fields and methods like any other
class, including static members, final methods, etc.
