I am new to java i dont understand the difference between the abstract and inheritance i mean we use the abstract class with extends with other class name ,even we do that same in the inheritance pls tell me main difference between abstract and inheritance...
View RepliesI am writing small pieces of code to make sure I understand Java basics and I have the following.
package teams1;
public abstract class Team1{
private String sport = new String();
public abstract String getSport();
public abstract void setSport();
}
import teams1.*;
[Code] .....
It doesn't compile because sport is private in the super class, but I thought FootballTeam1 would inherit it's own copy of sport because it is extending Team1.
As what i understand, Generalization is also know as Inheritance and Aggregation. They may or may not co-exist in order for a class to work. The subclass and the super class
And on the other hand, multiple inheritance is not allowed in Java, how these two differs.
Difference between Abstract class and Interface??
View Replies View RelatedWhat are the benefits of using an Interface plus an abstract class, over just an abstract class?

View Replies View RelatedI'm learning about inheritance and part of my problem is to create an Order with methods, then an UpdateOrder where the total price is changed by adding four dollars to it, and then a main method displaying a few orders. I've copied all three below in order. My question is when I run the program it will display the totalprice() first for the second order followed by name, number, etc.what you override always displayed first regardless of the order you put them in? (The issue is at line 31 on the third code.)
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Order { //superclass
private String customerName;
private int customerNumber;
protected int quantityOrdered;
protected double unitPrice;
protected double totalPrice;

how inheritence and exception work together ?? what are the rules ??
View Replies View RelatedIf I define a class which contains a few static fields, and then have a few classes who inherit this class, then all these classes would have the static field as well. Now my question is the following: would all those sub classes (and the base class itself) share the same object, or would each class have one object for all it's instances?
View Replies View RelatedI've tried to write a package and two classes this way:

I am in an intro programming class and we got assigned a problem for creating a super class with about a dozen sub classes for generating a random word(via WordGetter class) and then comparing that word to a variety of different patterns(like: does the word contain "re"). We were given the super class which looks like this...
public class Pattern {
public boolean matches(String text) {
return true;
}
public String toString() {
return "(TRUE)";
[code]...
and from this class, we have to write subclasses that override those three methods. I am struggling to understand inheritance and I am not really sure where to even start. Here is the instructions for the first sub class we need to write...
"CONTAINS" SUBCLASS
Constructor: The constructor accepts a String named ‘letters’.
Matches: This pattern matches any text that contains at least one occurrence of each ‘letter’.
toString: produces the text “(CONTAINS <LETTERS>)” where <LETTERS> is the ‘letters’ string.
getLetters(): this method must return letters.
equals(Object): careful on this one. Two Contains are equal if they have the same letters (order is not relevant).
(Example):
Pattern p = new Contains(“re”);
boolean f1 = p.matches(“renew”); // f1 is true
boolean f2 = p.matches(“zoo”); // f2 is false
String s = p.toString(); // s is “(CONTAINS re)”
boolean f3 = p.equals(new Contains(“er”)); // f3 is true.. really..
The first is clear , new Person().printPerson(); displays Person but for the second : new Student().printPerson(); it accesses the Student constructor that points to the Person class => object. It builds the Person instance then goes back to the Student constuctor .Both methods are private and to my knowledge invisible one to the other , except that you cant run the the Person one because it's private so the only one in the Student class is the Student one . Guess it 's incorrect , but why ? (is because private methods cant be overriden and somehow the super class one always has priority ? , even if it's private?)
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Person().printPerson();
new Student().printPerson();

If i have 2 classes, Top and ClassB which extends Top
public class Top {
String variable;
public Top(){
setVariable();
}
void setVariable(){
variable = "variable is initialized in Main Class";
[code]....
So what is happening when ClassB inherits from Top?I know that the B constructor is calling super, so does that mean its calling setVariable (in Top?) but as its overridden in ClassB, then that is whats being called and setting the String variable?
Here is my abstract Boat class.

i was leaning inheritance and tried to implement it in Java.This is my base class vehicl.java
public class vehicle{
private int topSpeed;
private int cubicCap;
private String modelName;
private boolean hasAlloy;
[code]...
I also have a derived class called car.java.What i wanted to do in the derived class was that i wanted to override the constructor as well as the getInfo() method from the base class.I wanted to add an additional attribute to the car "numberSeats" and display tat too when the object to car class calls the getInfo() method .It showed an error "identifier required" when i tried to compile car.java program.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class car extends vehicle{
//int numberSeats;
//System.out.println("Enter the number of Seats");
Scanner numberSeats=new Scanner(System.in);
numberSeats=numberSeats.nextInt();
//System.out.println(numberSeats.nextInt());
[code]....
explain the errors that i get when i tried to compile car.java without using super keyword or without defining the constructor from the Car class ?

View Replies View RelatedI've a question regarding polymorphism.
Is polymorphism possible only when the superclass is abstract?
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);
}}
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?
View Replies View Related I did research again....
interface:
methods - abstract, default, static ONLY(abstract methods have no body, while static and defaults do, right?)
fields - public, static, final ONLY
abstract class: a normal class, but has at least one abstract method
methods - all
i.e., static, non-static, abstract (can it have a default method?)
fields - all
i.e., public, protected, private / final, non-final / static, non-static
Design Patterns are one form of reuse. so is inheritance. what are the similarities and difference between them?

I am trying to figure out how I can most easily make it easier to make new types of units in my game. I have buildings and ships, and would like to know how I could make it easy to add new units. I have been recently told about interfaces, and have worked with inheritance a little bit.
What I would like to able to do is have it so that all of the variables and methods common to all ships could be stored in a superclass or interface, and same with the buildings. I would also like to be able to assign behaviours to the buildings and ships, maybe as interfaces, which could contain all of the methods and variables required for the functions of that ship or building.
For example, creating a new type of building that can shoot, build ships, and can regenerate nearby ships. So it would possible inherit all of the variables and methods common to all buildings, such as health, image, x, y, getX(), getY() etc. But it would then also gain the variables and methods essential for its functionality, such as shootRange, shoot(), regenRate, etc.
How could this best be achieved?
So I'm just a little unclear about this, but how would I call methods from the 'top' of an inheritance chain? I say 'top' because Object is the top... E.g.:
public class AClass {
public void myMethod() { ... }
}
public class BClass extends AClass {
public void myMethod() { ... }
}
public class CClass extends AClass {
public void myMethod() { ... }
}
Assuming that BClass.myMethod() completely overrides AClass.myMethod() (so that there is no call to super.myMethod() in BClass.myMethod()) How can I call AClass.myMethod() from CClass.myMethod()?
