I know whats the interfaces and abstract class and also know that difference between interface and abstract class,but here my doubt is eventhough abstract class more advantage than the interface,then why should we use interfaces and when?
View RepliesWhat are the benefits of using an Interface plus an abstract class, over just an abstract class?

View Replies View RelatedWhat this interface inside that abstract class does. Looking for some examples to how can i use it ....
public abstract class Expression {
public abstract String toString();

why don't I define my methods in a class, rather than going a level up and declaring it first in an abstract class/interface? If the point is to have different implementations for different needs, then we have the option to override the methods.
View Replies View RelatedI am new to Java, and last week had an assignment to create a shopping list. I made it so that I have one class use a ProductData class to load an array of objects (description, price, priority). This week I need to take that program and change it so that it includes an Interface and Abstract Class. I need to also split one class up into at least 2 others.
I am having trouble getting my thoughts together and figuring out what to put in the interface and what to put in the abstract class. I'm thinking that it might be best to split up the ProductData class up into 3 different classes: description, price, and priority. Then have an interface with a print method. Each of those 3 classes will implement the interface.
As for the abstract class, have the price and priority extend the abstract class. The abstract class will be at the same level as the interface and contain the set and get methods. Right now they are of 2 different data types: int, double. Should I make both of them Double, and then use a method to change the priority to an int?
Should price and priority inherit from description, or should they all be at the same level? I am thinking that they should be at the same level because they all describe the item in the array.
My most confusing part is that I have no clue at all on how I can load that array when each object is split up in a different class. My professor went over ArayLists last week, and we can now use them if we want, but the assignment doesn't explicitly say that we should change it to an Array List. Where does the constructor for the ProductData() go? Do I split it up into 3 different constructors?
I am just started to learn java and i am facing trouble learning abstract class.
View Replies View RelatedDo we have constructor in abstract class? If we have then what is the use of it?
View Replies View RelatedI 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;

Why we can't create object of abstract class ,when we can create its constructor?
View Replies View RelatedI 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...

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;

If we can't create objects for abstract class, what is the need of writing constructor???
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?

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?
I have a simple classes here one is interface and another one is abstract class when i try to compile them abstract class is givving compilation error.

public void getName();
public void getName(String s);

While reading the design patter book, i got one doubt ,There is a List an interface having sub classes ArrayList, LinkedList etc.,
Q1) My question is Why they declared the List as interface rather than Abstract class?
Q2) i read some site -
List l = new ArrayList(); Why it is GOOD line?
ArrayList l = new ArrayList() ; Why it is BAD line?
Answer required with detailed information for Q1 and Q2.

Can an interface extend a class?When I am running the following code it's showing some errors..I have commented them.

class Super { static String ID = "QBANK"; }
class Sub extends Super{
static { System.out.print("In Sub"); }
} public class Test{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println(Sub.ID);
}
}
According to me output should be "QBANK" In Sub...BECAUSE sub default constructor will call super() constructor.. below is the definition in jls which i am unable to understand ....
A class or interface type T will be initialized at its first active use, which occurs if:
T is a class and a method actually declared in T (rather than inherited from a superclass) is invoked.
T is a class and a constructor for class T is invoked, or T1 is an array with element type T, and an array of type T1 is created.
A non-constant field declared in T (rather than inherited from a superclass or superinterface) is used or assigned. A constant field is one that is (explicitly or implicitly) both final and static, and that is initialized with the value of a compile-time constant expression . Java specifies that a reference to a constant field must be resolved at compile time to a copy of the compile-time constant value, so uses of such a field are never active uses.
All other uses of a type are passive. A reference to a field is an active use of only the class or interface that actually declares it, even though it might be referred to through the name of a subclass, a subinterface, or a class that implements an interface.
I am new to java coding.... When we create anonymous inner class for interface, we get one object for the sublcass of that interface .
In interface there is no constructor then how do we get that object. We know that to create Anonymous inner class we should use one super class constructor.
Whether my understand is correct or not.
I am not able to understand how we are able to create an object of static inner class defined inside an interface .
interface outer {
class inner {
void disp() {
System.out.println("inside disp");
[Code] ....
output:
inside disp
How am i able to create a new object for static class?
how to 'implement' an interface and 'extend' a class. Now I want to try and recall the information by memory without using any reference material.
Implementing an interface...
Java Code: //This interface will hold information for cell phones//Like saying... you can't BE a cell phone unless you have this information, at the very least
public interface CellInfo {
public void model();
public void make();
public void androidVer();
}
//Now I implement the interface for a class called Galaxy, which is a class about a specific phone
public class Galaxy implements CellInfo
public void model() {
System.out.println("I'm a Galaxy S5.");
}
public void make() {
System.out.println("I'm made by Samsung.");
