Abstraction
Definition of Abstraction

• It means ‘Hiding the Details’.


• It is a process where implementation is hidden and its functionality is shown
to user.
Abstraction
Example of Abstraction

Real Life Example:


Abstraction

In programming, this concept of hiding the details is known as abstraction.

We can hide the details of a class or a method.


• Abstract Class
• Abstract Method
Abstract Class

• An abstract class is a class that we can not


instantiate (can not create object).
• However, We can use Object Reference of an
abstract class.
• The keyword abstract is used to denote
abstract class.
• public abstract class MyClass{. . .}
Abstract Class

• An abstract class may have attributes.


• An abstract class may have constructors but we can
not call the constructors using the new keyword.
• However, super( ), super(…), this( ), this(….) can be
used to call constructors of an abstract class.
Abstract Class

• An abstract class may have regular methods.


• An abstract class may have abstract methods.
• It is not necessary that an abstract class must have
an abstract method.
• So, it possible to have both regular methods and
abstract methods in any number combination in a
abstract class.
Abstract Class

• An abstract class MUST have a child class.


• This child class may be a regular class or may be
another abstract class.
• If the child class is another abstract class, that child
class will have another child class which has to be
a regular class.
• So, at least one regular class will inherit the
abstract class/classes in one way or the other.
Abstract Method

• An abstract method is like a regular method but it


does not have anybody.
• An abstract method is denoted with the keyword
abstract.
public abstract void show( );
• As, an abstract method does not have any body, it
does not have the ‘{ }’. Instead, it has a ‘ ; ’ .
Abstract Method

• An abstract method must be inside an


abstract class.
• As, an abstract class must have a child class,
that child class should override/implement
(give body to) all the abstract methods (if
any) of that abstract class.
• If it does not override/implement one/any of
the abstract methods, the child class will have
to be declared as another abstract class.
Example

public abstract class Alpha{ public class MyAlpha extends Alpha{

}
public void show( ){. . . }
public void print( ){. . . } }
public void display( ){. . . }

public abstract class Bravo{ public class MyBravo extends Bravo{

}
public abstract void show( );
public void print( ){. . . }
}
public void display( ){. . . }
public void show( ){. . .}

X
public abstract class Charlie{ public class MyCharlie extends Charlie{
public abstract void show( ); public void display( ){. . .}
public abstract void print( ); public void show( ){. . . }
} }
Example

public abstract class Alpha{ public class MyAlpha extends Alpha{


public void show( ){. . . } public void display( ){. . . }
public void print( ){. . . } }
}

public abstract class Bravo{ public class MyBravo extends Bravo{


public abstract void show( ); public void display( ){. . . }
public void print( ){. . . } public void show( ){. . .}
} }

public abstract class Charlie{ public abstract class MyCharlie extends Charlie{


public abstract void show( ); public void display( ){. . .}
public abstract void print( ); public void show( ){. . . }
} }
