Abstract Class

An abstract class in Java is a class that cannot be instantiated directly and is designed to be subclassed. It serves as a blueprint for other classes and may contain one or more abstract methods, which are methods declared without a body. Here are some key points about abstract classes:


1. Cannot be instantiated: An abstract class cannot be instantiated on its own. Instead, it must be subclassed by other classes, which provide concrete implementations for its abstract methods.


2. May contain abstract methods: An abstract class may contain abstract methods, which are declared using the abstract keyword and do not have a body. Subclasses of the abstract class must provide concrete implementations for these abstract methods.


3. Can contain concrete methods: In addition to abstract methods, an abstract class can also contain concrete methods with implementations. These methods are inherited by subclasses but can be overridden if needed.


4. Can contain fields: Abstract classes can have fields, constructors, and other members like a regular class. These members are inherited by subclasses and can be accessed or overridden as needed.


5. Used for code reusability and polymorphism: Abstract classes are useful for defining common behavior and ensuring consistency across related classes. They promote code reusability by providing a common base for subclasses to build upon. They also enable polymorphism, allowing objects of different subclasses to be treated uniformly through their common abstract superclass.


Example:

abstract class Shape {

    protected String color;


    public Shape(String color) {

        this.color = color;

    }


    // Abstract method

    abstract double area();


    // Concrete method

    public void setColor(String color) {

        this.color = color;

    }


    // Concrete method

    public String getColor() {

        return color;

    }

}


class Circle extends Shape {

    private double radius;


    public Circle(String color, double radius) {

        super(color);

        this.radius = radius;

    }


    @Override

    double area() {

        return Math.PI * radius * radius;

    }

}


class Rectangle extends Shape {

    private double length;

    private double width;


    public Rectangle(String color, double length, double width) {

        super(color);

        this.length = length;

        this.width = width;

    }


    @Override

    double area() {

        return length * width;

    }

}


In this example, `Shape` is an abstract class with an abstract method `area()` and concrete methods `setColor()` and `getColor()`. The `Circle` and `Rectangle` classes extend `Shape` and provide concrete implementations for the `area()` method.

Passing and Returning Objects in Java Methods

Passing and Returning Objects in Java Methods In Java, objects can be passed as parameters to methods and returned from methods just like other primitive data types. This allows for flexibility and the manipulation of object state within methods. Let's explore how passing and returning objects work in Java. Passing Objects as Parameters When you pass an object as a parameter to a method, you are essentially passing a reference to that object. This means that changes made to the object inside the method will affect the original object outside the method.  Example: class Car {     String model;     Car(String model) {         this.model = model;     } } public class CarProcessor {     // Method to modify the Car object     static void modifyCar(Car car, String newModel) {         car.model = newModel;     }     public static void main(String[] args) {       ...

Chained Exceptions

 Chained exceptions, also known as nested exceptions, allow you to associate one exception with another. This feature is useful when you want to provide more context or information about the cause of an exception. In Java, you can chain exceptions using constructors that take a `Throwable` (or its subclasses) as an argument. Syntax: try {     // Code that may throw an exception } catch (ExceptionType1 e1) {     throw new ExceptionType2("Additional information", e1); } Explanation: - Inside a `catch` block, you can create a new exception object and pass the original exception (`e1`) as the cause. - The chained exception (`ExceptionType2`) includes a message and the original exception (`e1`) as its cause. - This technique allows you to preserve the original exception's stack trace and context while providing additional information about the higher-level exception. - Chained exceptions can be caught and processed at higher levels of the call stack, allowing for bet...
