Implementing Abstract Classes in Java

An abstract class can have both abstract and implemented methods. The document discusses an abstract CreditCard class with attributes like card number and holder name. It has an implemented issuingAuthority() method that returns the card type. Classes like Maestro and Mastercard extend CreditCard without overriding issuingAuthority(). The main method creates instances of these subclasses and calls issuingAuthority() to output the card type.

All Methods Abstract in an Abstract Class?

 
OK, A Strange & Common Question? If I mark a method as abstract, I mark the class also as abstract. But
if needed, Can I implement a few methods for which I know the implementation or is it that I have to mark
all methods as abstract in an abstract class.

Not at All. An Abstract class can very well have methods which are implemented and not abstract. Let's try
it out. 

Create a abstract class CreditCard with 3 private attributes

cardNumber of type String,


cardType of type String
holderName of type String

Include a method issuingAuthority()  in the CreditCard class and implement which returns the name of


the holder along with the Card Type.
 
Create the class Maestro which extends the class CreditCard .

Create the class Mastercard which extends the class CreditCard.

Create the class Visa which extends the class CreditCard.

Use Appropriate Getters Setters for the above classes.

Create a driver class named Main which creates an instance of the above mentioned classes. The
function issuingAuthority() just displays the customer's credit card type.
