Answer / amit patel

Abstract class is used to implement common behavior which is
required by all subclasses but have some behavior which is
specific to subclass.

E.g., you want to implement a DocumentViewer App. Basic
operations are like open, view and close. open and close
requires no specific implementation while view require
specific implementation. Make DocumentViewer abstract,
implement open, close and make view as abstract. Now view is
responsibility of subclass. Like PDFViewer will have own
implementation for view()

Answer / harshavardhan

In Inheritance , class become more general and more
abstract.Ancestor classes are more general, i.e more basis
for other classes.Abstract classes can have fields and
concrete methods.Methods are declared not defined so we can
not create objects. but we can create object variables of an
abstract class. but such variable must refer to an object of
a nonabstract subclass.
