abstract public class d {

d() {
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
d e = new d();
}
}
Now abstract classes can have constructors but they can't instantiated.

What's your question ?
The statement written at end is true. An abstract class can have constructor but it never get called as you cannot instantiate abstrct class.

Well, never gets called is not correct. It will get called when you subclass it and instantaite the subclass.
