  2. Template method pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_method_pattern

    The template method is used for the following reasons. [3] It lets subclasses implement varying behavior (through overriding of the hook methods). [6] It avoids duplication in the code: the general workflow of the algorithm is implemented once in the abstract class's template method, and necessary variations are implemented in the subclasses. [6]

  3. Abstract type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_type

    //By default, all methods in all classes are concrete, unless the abstract keyword is used. public abstract class Demo {// An abstract class may include abstract methods, which have no implementation. public abstract int sum (int x, int y); // An abstract class may also include concrete methods. public int product (int x, int y) {return x * y;}} //By default, all methods in all interfaces are ...

    For example, class UnicodeConversionMixin might provide a method unicode_to_ascii() when included in class FileReader and class WebPageScraper, which do not share a common parent. Abstract classes cannot be instantiated into objects; they exist only for inheritance into other "concrete" classes that can be instantiated.

  5. Interface (Java) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_(Java)

    An interface in the Java programming language is an abstract type that is used to declare a behavior that classes must implement. They are similar to protocols.Interfaces are declared using the interface keyword, and may only contain method signature and constant declarations (variable declarations that are declared to be both static and final).

  6. Class (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_(computer_programming)

    Before a class derived from an abstract class can be instantiated, all abstract methods of its parent classes must be implemented by some class in the derivation chain. [25] Most object-oriented programming languages allow the programmer to specify which classes are considered abstract and will not allow these to be instantiated. For example ...

  7. Abstract data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_data_type

    Modern object-oriented languages, such as C++ and Java, support a form of abstract data types. When a class is used as a type, it is an abstract type that refers to a hidden representation. In this model, an ADT is typically implemented as a class, and each instance of the ADT is usually an object of that class.

  8. Interface (object-oriented programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_(object-oriented...

    For example, in Java, the Comparable interface specifies a method compareTo() which implementing classes must implement. This means that a sorting method, for example, can sort a collection of any objects of types which implement the Comparable interface, without having to know anything about the inner nature of the class (except that two of ...

  9. Composition over inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_over_inheritance

    Composition over inheritance (or composite reuse principle) in object-oriented programming (OOP) is the principle that classes should favor polymorphic behavior and code reuse by their composition (by containing instances of other classes that implement the desired functionality) over inheritance from a base or parent class.
