No only function marked as abstract shoud be implemented.the following code runs fine abstract public class baseclass { public abstract void method1(); public void method2(){Console.WriteLine("Base Method 2");} } public class derivedclass:baseclass { public override void method1(){Console.WriteLine("Derived Method 1");} //public override void method2(){Console.WriteLine("Derived Method 1");;} }

No...not necessarily.

if we declare even the inherited class as "abstract" , then, tht abstract method of parent class need not be implemented.

No. It is mandatory to define all the that methods that have been declared as Abstract.

If the inheriting class(child class) is not abstract then we need to override (implement) all the abstract methods otherwise it will give compile error.

To keep methods abstract in the inheriting class the inheriting class should be abstract too.

NO

Even you need not to implement ALL of the PURE VIRTUAL FUNCTIONS of Abstract Class, in Derived Class.

But then, the Derived class too will be an Abstract Class.

Now Question Arises:

What is the Use of Generating another Abstract Class?

Abstract Class are mainly for Generalisation, having some common functionalities implemented.

A Derived Abstract Class (i.e. if a Class, derived from ABS class, does not implement all of PVFs), will be considered as SUB-GENERALISATION.

Ex:

Living Being is a generalise class, with some common functionalities of Animals, Birds, Sea creatures. The common functionalities may be eating, breathing.

Animal is a Sub Generalise Class, with some common functionalities of Cat Family Animals and Dog Family Animals.

I hope, I was clear.

Pl check the same on C++ programming too.

Yes, if u Create Abstract class one or more abstract method in class.
If after inherit Abstract Class all abstract methods are compulsory/Mandatory implemented in derived class., otherwise they generate error. Please see attached example for reference.
For e.g. does not implement inherited abstract member Rextester.Cars.getTotalSeat()

Code
//Rextester.Program.Main is the entry point for your code. Dont change it.


//Compiler version 4.0.30319.17929 for Microsoft (R) .NET Framework 4.5


 


using System;


using System.Collections.Generic;


using System.Linq;


using System.Text.RegularExpressions;


 


namespace Rextester


{


    public class Program


    {


        public static void Main(string[] args)


        {


            //Your code goes here


            Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");


            Toyota Toy = new Toyota();  


            


            Console.WriteLine(Toy.Wheel());  


            Console.WriteLine("Discount Price :{0}", Toy.DiscountPrice());  


             Console.WriteLine("Total ONRoad Price:"+ Toy.price());  


            Console.WriteLine(Toy.getTotalSeat());  


            Console.WriteLine(Toy.colors());  


        }        


    }


    


    public abstract class Cars 


    {


        public abstract double price();  


        public abstract int getTotalSeat();  


        public abstract string colors();  


         public string Wheel()  


        {  


            return "4 wheeler";  


  


        }  


    }


     public class Toyota :Cars


     {


          public string DiscountPrice()  


        {  


            return "20% discount on buying Toyoya Cars";  


        }  


        public override double price()  


        {  


            return 1000000.00;  


        }  


        /*public override int getTotalSeat()  


        {  


            return 5;  


        } */ 


        public override string colors()  


        {  


            return "Red";  


        }  


     }


}
