Difference Between Abstract Class and Interface and Its Implementation

Abstract classes can contain abstract and non-abstract methods and provide a partial implementation for subclasses, while interfaces contain only abstract method signatures and define a contract for implementing classes; interfaces support multiple inheritance and can provide implementations for abstract classes, whereas abstract classes can only inherit from one parent class and provide implementations for interfaces.

Difference between Abstract class and interface and its implementation.

Abstract class can contain one or more method signatures that themselves are
declared as abstract. Abstract classes are useful when creating components
because they allow you specify an invariant level of functionality in some
methods.
Interfaces are a special kind of type in C# used to define the specification that
should be followed by its sub-types. An interface can be defined using the
interface keyword.

The difference between Abstract Class and Interface is as follows:


Abstract Class Interface

abstract methods. abstract methods.
Abstract class doesn't support multiple Interface supports multiple
inheritance. inheritance.
Abstract class can have final, non-final, Interface has only static and final

}
Example of Interface
