abstract and strictfp

[radhika holani]

Can a abstract modifier combined with Strictfp modifier?

[Suchitra Bhat]

Abstract methods can not be marked as strictfp, as strictfp is a modifier describing some thing about the implementation where as abstract methods define the signature, return type but nothing about the implementation.

And i think abstract classes can be declared as strictfp.

Thanks,
Suchitra

Modifiers in Java.

[radhika holani]

When i tried running program

public abstract class IllegalClass{
public Strictfp abstract void doIt();
}

it gave me err
IllegalClass.java:2: <identifier> expected
public Strictfp abstract void doIt();
^
1 error
AND NOT "Illigal Combination of modifiers"

Java keywords are lower case, strictfp not Strictfp
