Relevance of 'public' constructor in abstract class.
- by Amby
Is there any relevance of a 'public' constructor in an abstract class?
I can not think of any possible way to use it, in that case shouldn't it be treated as error by compiler (C#, not sure if other languages allow that).
Sample Code:
internal abstract class Vehicle
{
public Vehicle()
{
}
}
The C# compiler allows this code to compile, while there is no way i can call this contructor from the outside world. It can be called from derived classes only.
So shouldn't it allow 'protected' and 'private' modifiers only.
Please comment.
