Abstract class

[full spade]

can someone explain to me briefly why do we use abstract classes? why do we need them?

Hey, @full spade!
Please remember to /close this post once your question has been answered!

it's basically just for when you want to use an interface, but also want to use fields

Abstract classes are like a template for making subclasses, you can not create a abstract class object but a class that extends an abstract class can be a object

It's also nice for factorizing common code of classes for which it would make sense to have a common supertype.
