Braincramp regarding classes

[David Crossett]

I have an abstract class, MyShape, and want to derive a few classes from it - say MyLine, MyRect, and MyOval. MyShape looks a little like this:

public abstract class MyShape
{
  private int startX, startY, endX, endY, width, height;
  //default values supplied for no-arg constructor
  public MyShape()
  { 
     this( 100, 300, 300, 100 );
  }
  //regular constructor, with starting x,y and ending x,y
  public MyShape( int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2 )
  {
    startX = x1;
    startY = y1;
    endX = x2;
    endY = y2;
   }
   //blank method all sub-classes must over-ride
   public void draw( Graphics gg )
   {
   }
}//end class

Here is sample code for a SIMPLE MyLine object:
[code]
public class MyLine extends MyShape
{
public MyLine() //default constructor
{
super();
}
public MyLine( int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2 ) //regular constructor
{
super( x1, y1, x2, y2 );
}
public void draw( Graphics gg )

I'm not sure what your question is, but you probably want the following in Mfor draw() in MyShape:
public abstract void draw( Graphics gg );

It tells me only Moderators or Admins can do 'this function'.
If anyone is responding to this, PLEASE read this in full in the other thread under the same name!!!

Oops, I guess that's not something a regular user can do. You can delete your post, or edit it (which would've worked great here), but not move it. OK. Followup here then.
