Abstract Methods Classes

Abstract Method

declared without an implementation

C++

pure virtual method

virtual void eat(void) = 0;

Java

abstract method

abstract void draw();

Abstract Class

cannot be instantiated

C++

cannot be instantiated; has at least 1 pure virtual method

class AB {public: virtual void f() = 0;};

Java

cannot be instantiated; can have non-abstract methods

abstract class GraphicObject {}

Interface

no instance fields

C++

nothing comparable to Java

Java

very similar to abstract class, but 1) supports multiple inheritance; 2) no instance fields

interface TestInterface {}

Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea? Let me know.

C++ Comparison:

* C++ Comparison

* Static Class Members

* Classes Defined within Other Constructs

* Pass-by-value Pass-by-reference

* Inheritance vs Composition

* Outcast Downcasting

* Abstract Methods Classes
