Difference between abstract classes and interfaces

Very basic question but important to point out.
  • Abstract classes can have concrete methods while interfaces have no methods implemented.
  • Interfaces do not come in inheriting chain, while abstract classes come in inheriting chain.
  • Interfaces have only pure virtual abstract method, while abstract classes may have non-abstract methods.
  • All members are public [by default] in interfaces but you have to declare public members in abstract classes.
