Abstract class in Java

Abstract class in Java

A class which is declared as abstract is known as an abstract class. It can have abstract and non-abstract methods. It needs to be extended and its method implemented. It cannot be instantiated.

Note :

• An abstract class must be declared with an abstract keyword.
• It can have abstract and non-abstract methods.
• It cannot be instantiated( cannot have objects )
• It can have constructors and static methods also.
• It can have final methods which will force the subclass not to change the body of the method.
