Abstract Class Final Class

Abstract classes and interfaces define behaviors for other classes to inherit while final classes cannot be inherited. Abstract classes can contain both abstract and concrete methods but interfaces can only contain abstract methods. Classes can be instantiated to create objects while interfaces cannot be instantiated and are used to implement multiple inheritance.
