Abstract classes

[maksy]

Can we call a concrete method of an abstract class, without inheriting the abstract class? If yes, then how?

Hi,

As per my knlowledge, we can't instantiate abstract classes directly, we must inherit the abstract classes. i mean we can't access a concrete method of an abstract class without inheriting the abstract class

In order to access methods of an abstract class we need to extend the class first

Thanks

By declaring the methods as static., you can access the methods by using the class name without reference.

Joseph you are correct, by declaring the method as static we can access a concrete method of abstract class.

No we cant call without intilizing

[ssprastogi]

You can define static method in abstract class that method do not need any object for this class while calling.

abstract class MyOne
{
public static void show()
{
System.out.println("Abstract show");
}

}
public class ShowMain
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
MyOne.show();
}

}
