@ Mohit

No there is a sense making a class abstract having no abstract method

sometime we dont want our class to be instantiated then we cand define it abstract even though it has no abstract method

@Yash ,@rajashekhar

But class having at least one abstract method has to be declared as abstract.

Also if a class declared as abstract and not having any abstract method, then there is no point in declaring that class as abstract.

@RajSekhar
No Rajsekhar, its not mandatory for an abstract class to contain an abstract method. Something like works absolutely fine.

public abstract class AbstractNoMethods {

// Empty
}
