What is the difference between interface and abstract class?

By: Karthik in Interview Tutorials on 2012年06月16日 [フレーム]

  • interface contains methods that must be abstract; abstract class may contain concrete methods.
  • interface contains variables that must be static and final; abstract class may contain non-final and final variables.
  • members in an interface are public by default, abstract class may contain non-public members.
  • interface is used to "implements"; whereas abstract class is used to "extends".
  • interface can be used to achieve multiple inheritance; abstract class can be used as a single inheritance.
  • interface can "extends" another interface, abstract class can "extends" another class and "implements" multiple interfaces.
  • interface is absolutely abstract; abstract class can be invoked if a main() exists.
  • interface is more flexible than abstract class because one class can only "extends" one super class, but "implements" multiple interfaces.
  • If given a choice, use interface instead of abstract class.
