Can a non abstract class have abstract method? If yes then why and if no then also why?

Varun Sareen asked:

Dear Friends,

I was reading an article on whether there could be non abstract methods in abstract classes or not.

Then while reading a question pops up into my mind that is vice-verse can also be true i.e., If some one is willing to make a abstract method in a non abstract class then will it be helpful or it will give a compile time error.?

This question might be novice for some but i am a little low in OOPs concepts theoretically.

Thanks

Varun
