ABSTRACT CLASS

Domain	Definition
Computing	Abstract class In object-oriented programming, a class designed only as a parent from which sub-classes may be derived, but which is not itself suitable for instantiation. Often used to "abstract out" incomplete sets of features which may then be shared by a group of sibling sub-classes which add different variations of the missing pieces. (1994-11-08).

Specialty Definition: Abstract class

In computing, when specifying an abstract class, the programmer is referring to a class which is meant to be implemented by inheritance. The use of an abstraction is meant to simplify software development.

In Java, for example, the keyword abstract corresponds to the C++ keywords pure virtual.

See, for example, class (object-oriented programming) for a unified discussion.
