    Default Need of an Abstract class ?

    Why is it necessary to derive an Abstract class? Though we know that it does not have a body, we still inherit this class. Why? Please explain

    it does not have a body
    Not true. It can many useful methods. Only one of an abstract class's methods need be abstract.

    AFAIK, not even that. Again AFAIK, you can have an abstract class with no abstract methods.

    its not common, but sometimes u can have no abstract methods with abstract class.


    abstract class is like a fusion between an interface and a concrete class.
