解决方案——基类(抽象)

public abstract class Place {

String Name;
String Postcode;
String County;
String Area;

Place () {

        }

public static Place make(String Incoming) {
        if (Incoming.length() < 61) return (null);

        String Name = (Incoming.substring(4,26)).trim();
        String County = (Incoming.substring(27,48)).trim();
        String Postcode = (Incoming.substring(48,61)).trim();
        String Area = (Incoming.substring(61)).trim();

        Place created;
        if (Name.equalsIgnoreCase(Area)) {
                created = new Area(Area,County,Postcode);
        } else {
                created = new District(Name,County,Postcode,Area);
        }

抽象类不能直接实例化，但必须从抽象类派生才能使用。一个类必须是抽象的，如果它包含抽象方法:或者直接

abstract class Foo {
    abstract void someMethod();
}

或间接地

interface IFoo {
    void someMethod();
}

abstract class Foo2 implements IFoo {
}

然而，一个类可以是抽象的，而不包含抽象方法。这是一种防止直接瞬化的方法，例如。

abstract class Foo3 {
}

class Bar extends Foo3 {

}

Foo3 myVar = new Foo3(); // illegal! class is abstract
Foo3 myVar = new Bar(); // allowed!

抽象类的后一种风格可以用来创建“类接口”类。与接口不同，抽象类允许包含非抽象方法和实例变量。您可以使用它为扩展类提供一些基本功能。

另一种常见的模式是在抽象类中实现主要功能，并在由扩展类实现的抽象方法中定义部分算法。愚蠢的例子:

abstract class Processor {
    protected abstract int[] filterInput(int[] unfiltered);

    public int process(int[] values) {
        int[] filtered = filterInput(values);
        // do something with filtered input
    }
}

class EvenValues extends Processor {
    protected int[] filterInput(int[] unfiltered) {
        // remove odd numbers
    }
}

class OddValues extends Processor {
    protected int[] filterInput(int[] unfiltered) {
        // remove even numbers
    }
}

An abstract class is one that isn't fully implemented but provides something of a blueprint for subclasses. It may be partially implemented in that it contains fully-defined concrete methods, but it can also hold abstract methods. These are methods with a signature but no method body. Any subclass must define a body for each abstract method, otherwise it too must be declared abstract. Because abstract classes cannot be instantiated, they must be extended by at least one subclass in order to be utilized. Think of the abstract class as the generic class, and the subclasses are there to fill in the missing information.

抽象方法和类:

抽象类是声明为抽象的类——它可以包含也可以不包含抽象方法 抽象类不能被实例化，但可以被子类化

抽象方法是一种声明时没有实现(没有大括号，后面跟着一个分号)的方法，如下所示:

abstract void moveTo(double deltaX, double deltaY);

如果一个类包含抽象方法，那么类本身必须声明为抽象的，如下所示:

public abstract class GraphicObject {
   // declare fields
   // declare nonabstract methods
   abstract void draw();
}

当抽象类被子类化时，子类通常为其父类中的所有抽象方法提供实现。然而，如果不是这样，那么子类也必须声明为抽象的。

由于抽象类和接口是相关的，看看下面的SE问题:

接口和抽象类的区别是什么?

我应该如何解释接口和抽象类之间的区别?

它什么都不做，只是提供一个公共模板，它将被它的子类共享
