I have a user class that contains name, email, city, state, zip. This is common to both sub groups of mobile user and web user. the sub group has different methods. Should user be an abstract class and the two sub groups be like so?

Basically everything is right except that
Usershould just be a normal class (not abstract).Remember that
abstractclasses should be used when you want your class to define a certain set of shared behaviors, while forcing its subclasses to provide others. This isn’t the case in your situation. Rather, your subclasses simply provide additional behavior to theUserclass.
