Performing Method On Instance Inside Abstract Class
Mar 12, 2015
How do I create an instance of a class in a method?
I am a bit rusty whenever I think of instances. I always think of main method and objects when I see instance which gets me confused on what to do when I am not in a main method. The example:
I have a abstract class, School, and inside School I have some methods that must preform some action on an instance. For example, there is a move() method that must move the instance of School. Another method named, personOld(), which returns whether or not an instance of School surpassed some determined age.
How do I do this and create this instance?

This code is directly from Swing: I'm using Eclipse and keep getting an error on line 10 saying :
"The type JTextField must implement the inherited abstract method ActionListener.actionPerformed(ActionEvent)."
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

Write an instance method, contains, that has one explicit parameter of type Rectangle. The method should return true if every point of the rectangle determined by the explicit parameter is on or within the rectangle determined by the implicit parameter. It should return false otherwise.
This is what i did so far?
public boolean contains(Rectangle other) {
Rectangle intersect = Rectangle.intersection(this, other);
if ((intersect.left == this.left) && (intersect.bottom == this.bottom) && (intersect.width == this.width)
&& (intersect.height == this.height)) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

What are the benefits of using an Interface plus an abstract class, over just an abstract class?

I have been researching the Iterator and making a class implement iterable. I have seen this example shown below and was wondering how I could change this so that iterable() is not called upon in the main. I would like to be able to make a method that returns an instance of a class that implements the Iterator interface hopefully an inner class. This is because my program will not have a main and will be supplied with a main that includes a new Object with will use the iterator method.
import java.util.*;
public class IteratorDemo {
public static void main(String args[]) {
// Create an array list
ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
// add elements to the array list
al.add("C");
[Code] ....
This is all I have been able to understand from what I want to do. This does not work and this is what I am trying to achieve
public class MyArrayList implements Iterable {
public static final int DEFAULT_SIZE = 5;
public static final int EXPANSION = 5;
private int capacity;
private int size;
private Object[] items;
[Code] ...

I saw an example where an (inner)class is declared inside the main method, this is correct or not and why/when it's reasonable to use?so smth like this
public class myClass()
{
public static void myMethod(myInnerClass obj)
{
if (obj.method())

this code won't compile because selected row must be declared as final because of it being defined outside the window listener. Is their anyway around this? If I make it final the first time that the variable is called it keeps it starting value until the GUI is closed.
butEdit.addActionListener (new ActionListener () {
@Override
public void actionPerformed (java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
int selectedRow = table.getSelectedRow ();
final String [] values = custTableModel.getRowValues (selectedRow);

Created a java.sql.connection object. Refering those obj inside public void run() { } If i declare as final inside a method, i can't refer those outside method due to scope. Cannot refer to a non-final variable dbConnObj inside an inner class defined in a different method...

An abstract method is a method with no implementation. So would like to know what is the purpose of calling it if there is no implementation?

I am new to Java and have been learning it. I have a question here. I came across the following Java class and trying to understand it thoroughly but got confused how it is able to call an abstract method. Here is the code I am referring to :
package sampleapps.gui;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class InnerClassAnimationExample {
int x=70, y=70;
public static void main(String[] args) {
[Code] ....
So, in the code above, there is an inner class NewMyDrawPanel which has a paintComponent(Graphics g) method. I have highlighted 2 lines of code above.
Line 1 : Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
Line 2 : g2d.fillOval(x,y,40,40);
I understand we are type casting reference g to Graphics2D reference g2d and we are calling fillOval() method on g2d. I don't see a fillOval() method in Graphics2D class but it is there in Graphics class and fillOval method is an abstract method.
So, my question here is :
1. If we are not able to instantiate an abstract class(Graphics2D and Graphics classes), how are we able to access the fillOval() abstract method,
2. Secondly, since the fillOval() method is an abstract method, it does not have any implementation for the method.
However, when I call the method fillOval() on Graphics2D reference, I was able to draw and fill an oval of the specified co-ordinates. So, where would the actual implementation code be?

I passed my abstract class private final reference to another concrete class and I used abstract class reference as parameter to that concrete class constructor and in my main method and null to that parameter then only that program executes correctly...i placing my code below ..if there is any error tell me where is error occurring then i will check my code...i think my code is right but little bit doubt abstract class concept.
{
}
class concept1 extends concept
{
private final concept parent;
public concept1(concept aparent)
{
parent=aparent;
System.out.println(parent);
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
//concept p=new concept1(null);
concept c=new concept1(null);
}}

I am under the assumption that In the return statement of getReciprocal() method(of the following code), a temporary Number object is created to hold the result of the calculation.
My question is, Number is an abstract class and we are only able to create reference of an abstract class not an object. But then how a temp Number object is created and returned?
class Gen<T extends Number>{
T ob;
Gen(T ob){
this.ob = ob;
}
Number getReciprocal(){ // Number is abstract class

in abstract class constructors are not recommended since we don't call it directly ...my doubt is below code is right or wrong...
3public abstract class Concept
4{
5 private String id;
6
7 protected Concept( String anId )
8 {
9 if ( anId == null )
10 {
11 throw new NullPointerException( "id must not be null" );
12 }
13
14 id = anId;
15 }

I'm learning about abstract classes and I have to create an abstract auto class with make and price of a car, then two classes with a different type of car, and finally a main to use them. Everything seems to work and when I run it it's fine but I do get an error on the main that I'm not using the local variable buick1 and acura1.I'm curious because, while it runs for me, I want to make sure I'm doing it right and don't know of another way to do the output than this. I've put all four classes but the issue is on the last one (5 and 7).
public abstract class Auto
{
protected String makeCar;
protected double priceCar;
public Auto(String newMake)
{
makeCar = newMake;

I've got an abstract class
public abstract class AbstractClass
{
//stuff
}
And a few classes that inherit from it
public class Class1 extends AbstractClass
{
//stuff
}
public class Class2 extends AbstractClass
{
//stuff
}
within another class I have a private variable with the type of the Abstract class, and within one of the methods I assign an object to the the variable like this:
public class Test
{
private AbstractClass temp;
public testMethod(){
Class1 anObject = new Class1();
temp = anObject;
}
}
Is this legal? Will temp become a Class1 object?
