Can you list the types of classes used in object-oriented programming?

Answer from AI
In object-oriented programming (using Java as an example), several types of classes can be distinguished:
- Concrete classes — classes that can be instantiated and contain implementations of methods.
- Abstract classes — classes that cannot be instantiated directly and may contain both implemented and abstract methods (without implementation). Used to create basic templates.
- Interfaces — define a set of methods without implementation that must be implemented by classes that implement them.
- Inner classes — classes declared within other classes, which can be static or non-static.
- Enums — special classes representing a set of constants.
Example of an abstract class and an interface:
abstract class Animal {
abstract void makeSound();
}
interface Movable {
void move();
}
class Dog extends Animal implements Movable {
void makeSound() {
System.out.println("Bark");
}
public void move() {
System.out.println("Dog runs");
}
}
