Abstract Class in Java

-
In C++, if a class has at least one pure virtual function, then the class becomes abstract. Unlike C++, in Java, a separate keyword abstract is used to make a class abstract.
 An example abstract class in Java 
abstract class Shape { 
 int color; 
 // An abstract function (like a pure virtual function in C++) 
 abstract void draw();  
} 
Following are some important observations about abstract classes in Java.

1) Like C++, in Java, an instance of an abstract class cannot be created, we can have references of abstract class type though.
2) Like C++, an abstract class can contain constructors in Java. And a constructor of abstract class is called when an instance of a inherited class is created. For example, the following is a valid Java program.
3) In Java, we can have an abstract class without any abstract method. This allows us to create classes that cannot be instantiated, but can only be inherited.
4) Abstract classes can also have final methods (methods that cannot be overridden). For example, the following program compiles and runs fine.

  Introduction to Flutter Installation In this section, let us see how to install Flutter SDK and its requirement in a windows system. Step 1 − Go to URL, https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/windows and download the latest Flutter SDK. As of April 2019, the version is 1.2.1 and the file is flutter_windows_v1.2.1-stable.zip. Step 2 − Unzip the zip archive in a folder, say C:\flutter\ Step 3 − Update the system path to include flutter bin directory. Step 4 − Flutter provides a tool, flutter doctor to check that all the requirement of flutter development is met. flutter doctor Step 5 − Running the above command will analyze the system and show its report as shown below − Doctor summary (to see all details, run flutter doctor -v): [√] Flutter (Channel stable, v1.2.1, on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.706], locale en-US) [√] Android tool chain - develop for Android devices (Android SDK version 28.0.3) [√] Android Studio (version 3.2) [√] VS Code, 64-bit editio

Dart: Functions

  Functions Functions let you package multiple related lines of code into a single body that you can summon to avoid repeating those lines of code throughout your Dart application: A function consists of a return type , a function name , a parameter list in parentheses, and then a function body enclosed in braces. The code you're turning into the function goes inside the braces. When you call the function, you pass in arguments that match the types of the parameters of the function. Write a new function in DartPad that will just check to see if a given string is banana. bool isBanana( String fruit) { return fruit == 'banana' ; } The function uses return to return a bool value determined by the argument passed to the function. This function will always return the same value for any given input. If a function does not need to return a value, you can set the return type to void , such as for the main function.   Optional Parameters If a parameter to a funct

Firebase Cloud Messaging

  what are push notifications? Push Notifications are a sort of pop-up messaging medium that alerts app users to what's going on in the app. They are also an important way to amplify user engagement in your app. For example, say a user forgets about the app once they have installed it. Then you can use push notifications as a mechanism to regain and retain their interest. Push notifications also help drive traffic to your app. Firebase Cloud Messaging is a service offered by Firebase which lets you send these notifications to your users. You can set up various configurations to send different notifications to different audiences based on time and routine. Because of all these benefits, we are going to use it to send notifications to our Flutter app. Step 1: Create a Flutter Project First, we are going to create a flutter project. For that, we must have the Flutter SDK installed in our system. You can find simple steps for flutter installation in the official documenta
