64. Abstract vs. Concrete Classes in Java: Rules, Examples & Interview Prep

Struggling to understand the Abstract keyword in Java? In this video, we tackle a single but incredibly powerful Java keyword: Abstract. While it might seem small, understanding this concept is the key to solving common design headaches and building flexible code that lasts.
What’s inside this lecture:
• The Problem: Why creating "empty methods" (like a generic drive() method with no code) is a dangerous trap that leads to broken promises in your code.
• The Solution: How the abstract keyword acts as a contract, forcing child classes to provide real implementations.
• The Blueprint Analogy: Learn why an abstract class is like an architect's blueprint—it defines the rules (kitchen, bathroom) without providing the actual bricks or wiring.
• Strict Rules: We cover the essential rules for exams and interviews, such as why you cannot create an object from an abstract class and how inheritance works.
• Real-World Example: See the concept in action with a Car (Abstract) vs. Wagon R (Concrete) example.
Whether you are prepping for a technical interview or just learning Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), this video breaks down the "All or Nothing" rule of abstraction.
Key Takeaways:
• Abstract classes vs. Concrete classes.
• Handling edge cases in inheritance chains.
• Why "Abstract" is a design philosophy, not just a keyword.
