Java - Abstraction
You are designing a Java class hierarchy where some methods should have a default implementation but subclasses can override them if needed. Which class type best suits this design?
AAbstract class with both abstract and concrete methods
BInterface with only abstract methods
CConcrete class with all methods final
DAbstract class with only abstract methods
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand requirements

    Some methods need default behavior, others can be overridden.
  2. Step 2: Analyze class types

    Abstract classes can have both abstract methods (no body) and concrete methods (with body).
  3. Step 3: Evaluate options

    Interfaces (before Java 8) only have abstract methods; concrete classes with final methods cannot be overridden.
  4. Final Answer:

    Abstract class with both abstract and concrete methods -> Option A
  5. Quick Check:

    Abstract classes allow default and overridable methods. [OK]
Quick Trick: Use abstract class for default and overridable methods [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using interfaces when default implementation is needed
  • Making methods final to allow overriding
  • Using abstract classes with only abstract methods
