Abstract Class Vs Interface

  • A class can implement more than one number of interfaces but a subclass can at most use only one abstract class. 
  • An interface can not provide any code, just the signature, but an abstract class can provide complete default code.
  • An abstract class can declare or use any variables while an interface is not allowed to do so.
  • Constructor declaration can be done for the abstract class but interface can not.
  • Access specifiers can be used for the abstract classes but not for the interfaces as all the members of interface are implicitly public.
  • Interfaces are used to define the peripheral abilities of a class, whereas an abstract class defines the core identity of a class and so it is used for the objects of the same type.
  •  No fields can be defined in the interfaces but in abstract classes it can be.
