I'm trying to create a abstract concrete class. I've looked around but I can't really find anything that helping me(NOOB here). I will post the code below I have already

1. need to create a abstract class. single constructor requires String to indicate the type of animal, which is stored in instance variable.

2. a few methods need to be included describe(), sound(), these will be inherited by other classes

CODE

public abstract class  Animal
{
    public Animal(String type)
    {
        super(type);
    }

    public abstract String describe()

    public abstract String sound()

    public abstract String sleep()

    public abstract String move()
}

you have the right idea. Now on those abstract methods you need to put semicolons at the end. Also you don't use super, because you are not extending another class. Now to use the abstract class you have to extend the Animal class, so class A extends Animal (something like that). And you need to fill in the blank methods. That is the short on how to do it, there are examples on the web, just do a google search for abstract class.

This wasn't a duplicate. One was a concrete class question and the other was a abstract class question....?????

Ok, you still could have kept them inside one post as they both pertain to the same type of topic, which is abstract classess.

I have restored the topic to the forum.
