java中抽象方法是,Java中的抽象方法

I want to write an abstract method but the compiler persistently gives this error:

abstract methods cannot have a body

I have a method like this:

public abstract boolean isChanged() {

return smt else...

}

What is wrong here?

解决方案

Abstract methods means there is no default implementation for it and an implementing class will provide the details.

Essentially, you would have

class AbstractObject {

public abstract void method();

}

class ImplementingObject extends AbstractObject {

public void method() {

doSomething();

}

}

So, it's exactly as the error states: your abstract method can not have a body.

The reason you would do something like this is if multiple objects can share some behavior, but not all behavior.

A very simple example would be shapes:

You can have a generic graphic object, which knows how to reposition itself, but the implementing classes will actually draw themselves.

(This is taken from the site I linked above)

abstract class GraphicObject {

int x, y;

...

void moveTo(int newX, int newY) {

...

}

abstract void draw();

abstract void resize();

}

class Circle extends GraphicObject {

void draw() {

...

}

void resize() {

...

}

}

class Rectangle extends GraphicObject {

void draw() {

...

}

void resize() {

...

}

}
