According the book: if super class is abstract, the subclass must be abstract or all methods must be abstract. But I compiled following file. It's good, its subclass is not abstract, why it compiled with non-complain? ===================================== abstract class Base{ abstract public void myfunc(); public void another(){ System.out.println("Another method"); } } public class Abs extends Base{ public static void main(String argv[]){ Abs a = new Abs(); a.amethod(); } public void myfunc(){ System.out.println("My func"); } public void amethod(){ myfunc(); } } 1) The code will compile and run, printing out the words "My Func"

Yeah, which book is that? If a subclass doesnot implement all the abstract methods in the superclass, then -
The subclass itself should be declared as abstract
The superclass methods that are not implemented should be re-declared as abstract.
Hope this helps Ajith [This message has been edited by Ajith Kallambella (edited August 30, 2000).]
