    Default Abstract Method

    An abstract method is a method with no implementation. So would like to know what is the purpose of calling it if there is no
    implementation?

    Default Re: Abstract Method

    An abstract method will placed in abstract class. For each direct subtype from abstract class should implement these abstract method. So:
    "So would like to know what is the purpose of calling it if there is no
    implementation?"
    is wrong, you couldn't call an abstract method.

    You could google with keyword abstract class & abstract method to understand more.
