Abstract Class: Abstract Classes Have The Following Features

An abstract class is intended to be a base class that cannot be instantiated. It may contain abstract methods and properties that derived classes are required to implement. An abstract class can have concrete methods while abstract methods have no implementation defined in the abstract class. Derived classes must provide an implementation for any abstract methods and properties inherited from the abstract class.

Indicate that a class is intended only to be a base class of other classes.
Abstract classes have the following features:
extern
An abstract class cannot be instantiated.
override
An abstract class may contain abstract methods and properties.
readonly It is not possible to modify an abstract class with the sealed modifier, which means that the
sealed class cannot be inherited.
static A non-abstract class derived from an abstract class must include actual implementations of
unsafe all inherited abstract methods and properties.

Abstract methods have the following features:
An abstract method is implicitly a virtual method.
extern
Abstract method declarations are only permitted in abstract classes.
override
Because an abstract method declaration provides no actual implementation, there is no
readonly method body.
sealed The implementation is provided by an overriding method, which is a member of a non-
static abstract class.
unsafe It is an error to use the static or virtual modifiers in an abstract method declaration.

It is an error to use the abstract modifier on a static property.

An abstract inherited property can be overridden in a derived class by including a property

declaration that uses the override modifier.

Abstract classes can have concrete methods. Interfaces can not have concrete methods.
extern Abstract classes is designed to be a base class. Interface is a contract that defines the signature
override of the functionality.
readonly Abstract classes fall under the inheritance. Interfaces do not fall under inheritance.
