I have a question where i can't seem to find the answer for:

An abstract class is a class where you can't make an instance from, that's
something i know but can an abstract class hold regular methods or does
every method needs to be declared abstract? If it is possible, can such a
method be declared static (in java).
The reasen because i ask this is because i've seen a way to make a
singelton: a class where you can hold maximum 1 instance but when you make
that class abstract and you make all the methods static, it would be easier
to implement i guess... Is this correct?
