Difference Between Abstract Class and Interface

An abstract class can contain both abstract and non-abstract methods, while an interface can only contain abstract methods. An abstract class can implement an interface but an interface cannot implement an abstract class. An abstract class can be extended by another class using the "extends" keyword, while an interface is implemented by a class using the "implements" keyword.
