Question

In java , abstract class can have static variable. However as we cannot instantiate abstract class then what is use of having it. Thank you in advance for replying

Answer 1

Abstract class have all the properties as the normal class additionally it has atleast 1 abstract method..
Since it has an object method, then it cannot be instantiated "only until its abstract method(s) have their definations implimented. After that in can be instantiated in the concrete class which is provided implementation for abstract methods and made it fully concrete class..
