Exam Tip

---------------------------------------------------

abstract methods must be implemented by a subclass, so they must be inheritable.

abstract methods cannot be private.

abstract methods cannot be final.

abstract methods may have parameters, a return type, and optional throws clause, but are not implemented.

abstract methods end in a semicolon-no curly braces.

A single abstract method in a class means the whole class must be abstract.

An abstract class can have both abstract and nonabstract methods.
