What is a abstract class in java ?

There are situations in which we want to define a superclass that declares a structure of a given abstraction without providing a complete implementation of every method, i.e sometimes we want to create a superclass that only defines a generalised form that will be shared by all of its subclasses leaving it to each subclass to fill in the details. Any class that contains one or more abstract methods must also be declared abstract. To declare a class abstract we simply use the abstract keyword infront of the class keyword in the beginning of class declaration.
There can be no objects of an abstract class, i.e an abstract class cannot be directly instantiated with the new operator. Also you cannot declare abstract constructors or abstract stating methods. Any subclass of an abstract class must either implement all of the abstract methods in the superclass or be itself declared abstract.

For example :

abstract class A
{
        abstract void callme( );                  //abstract method that will 
                                                             //be defined in sub class
        void callmetoo( )
         {
              System.out.println(" This is a concrete method ") ;
          }
}

class B extends A
{
          void callme( )            //defination of abstract method
                                            // of super class
           {    
                 System.out.println("Implentation of callme in B");
            }
}

class C extends A
{
          void callme( )
          {
                 System.out.println("Implentation of callme in C");
           }
}
class AbstractDemo
{ 
            public static void main( String args [ ] )
            {
                   B b = new B( );
                   C c = new C( );
                   b.callme( );
                   b.callmetoo( );
                   c.callme( );
                   c.callmetoo( );
              }
 }



hence output of the above program will be:

Implentation of callme in B
This is a concrete method
Implentation of callme in C
This is a concrete method

Multithreading - Creation of a thread by Runnable interface

The easiest way to create a thread is to create a class that implements the runnable interface. You can construct a thread on any object that implements runnable. To implement runnable , a class need only implement a single method called run( ).
Run( ) establishes the entry point for another concurrent thread of execution within your program. This thread will end when run( ) ends.


For example:

class NewThread implements Runnable
{
       Thread t;
       NewThread( )
       {
               t = new Thread (this,"DemoThread");
               System.out.println("child thread :" +t);
               t.start( );
        }
        public void run( )
       {
              try
              {      
                     for(int i=5; i < 0; i--)
                     {
                           System.out.println("child thread" +i );
                           Thread.sleep(500);
                      }
                }
                catch( InterruptedException e )
                {
                       system.out.println(" child interrupted" );
                 }
                 System.out.println(" child thread exiting")
          }
    }

class ThreadDemo
{
         public static void main( String args[ ] )
         {
               new NewThread( );
               try
               {
                      for(int i=5; i > 0; i--)
                      {
                              System.out.println (" main thread" +i );
                               Thread.sleep(1000);
                      }
                }
                catch ( InterruptedException e )
                {
                       System.out.println (" Main thread interrupted ");
                 }
                 System.out.println( " main thread exiting ") ;
           }
}

Multithreading - Creating thread by extending a thread class

Before starting this, you must know what is mulithreading.


A thread is to create a new class that extends thread and then to create an instance of that class. The extending class must override the run method which is the entry point for new thread. It must also call start( ) to begin execution of the new thread.

Creating a thread :

class NewThread extends Thread
{
      NewThread( )
      {
              super("Demo Thread");   //will call the 
                                                      //constructor of super class thread     
              System.out.println(" child thread: " +this);
              Start( );
      }
      public void run( )
      {
              try
              {
                     for(int i=5; i > 0; i--)
                     {
                           System.out.println(" child thread "+i );
                           Thread.sleep(500);
                     }
              }
              catch(InterruptedException e)
              {
                           System.out.println("child interrupted");
               }
              
               System.out.println("exiting child thread");
       }
}

class ExtendThread
{            
            public static void main( String args[ ])
            {
                    new NewThread( );
                    try
                    {
                            for(int i=5; i >0; i--)
                            {
                                 System.out.println("main thread" +i );
                                 Thread.sleep(1000);
                            }
                   }
                   catch( InterruptedException e)
                   {
                           System.out.println(" main interrupted");
                    }
                    System.out.println(" main thread exiting");

             }
}



output:
child thread: Thread[ DemoThread, 5, main]
main thread: 5
child thread: 5
child thread: 4
main thread: 4
child thread: 3
child thread: 2
main thread: 3
child thread: 1
exiting child thread
main thread: 2
main thread: 1
main thread exiting
