A (concrete) class defines all his methods and can have any kind of instance variable and is declared with the 'class' keyword. Unlike an interface that doesn't implements any of his methods and his variables must be static and final. An interface is defined with the 'interface' keyword.
//This is a class
public class MyClass{
public String name;
private int age;
public void myMethod(){
//do something
}
}
//This is a interface
interface MyInterface {
public static final String name;
public static final int age;
public void myMethod(); // This method is not implemented
}
An other difference is that a class can be inheritance by other class but a interface must be implemented using the keyword 'implements'.
interface Runnable(){
void run();
}
public class MyOtherClass implements Runnable{
public void run(){
// insert interesting code here
}
}

Difference between interface and abstract class on uml?
In general, the differences are that interface has(1) no fields and(2) no implementation of methodsbut in UML interface may have features (fields), so the difference left is that interface in UML has no implemented methods while abstract class by definition is partially implemented class.
What is the major difference between an Interface and a Class?
An interface can only have abstract methods or constants in it. A class can have both that and everything else in Java.
What is the difference betwen class and interface?
classes can be extended and interfaces can be implemented.
What is similarities between Abstract Class and Interface?
If a class has one abstract method ,the class has to be an abstract class.Methods can be implemented in abstract class.Whereas a interface is like a abstract class...the only difference being that the methods are never implemented in Interface.
Is Iterator a class or Interface?
Its an interface.
Difference between class and interface in java?
A class is a data type. An interface consists of the private, protected and public members of a class, allowing consumers of the class to interact with the class representation in a controlled manner. The private interface is only accessible to the class itself and to friends of the class. The protected interface is similar to the private interface but is also accessible to derivatives of the class. The public interface is fully accessible. The private and protected interfaces are intended purely for use by the class implementers while the public interface is intended for use by both consumers and implementers.
What is difference between abstract class and interface in core java give brief answer with example?
Differences:Abstract class can also contain method definitions but an interface can contain only declarationsAll variables in an interface are by default public static and final whereas in Abstract class it is notAn interface can be considered as a pure abstract class that contains no method implementations and contains only declarations.
What is the major difference in class and interface in c?
The implementation detail. Classes may provide a default implementation, interfaces provide only the method signatures
Is interface class a valid term?
Yes. An interface in essence is a java class and so you can use the term interface class. But, using the term class along with the term interface can cause ambiguity or misunderstandings among novice java developers. So, using the term "Interface" along would suffice to refer to a type of class which is the "Interface"
Why instance in abstract or interface?
we can make object of interface but in abstract we can not make object of it interface ab= new Classs(): in interface we maintain multiple inhetence by use of obj of interface we if inherit two class have same fun then we give the name of that interface and call the pertucular that fun interface ab= new class() ab.add(); but in Astract Class we cannot make object of it only class class wich inherit it can make object class ab2= new Class(); and by obj we call function of drived class ob2.add();
What is the difference between class inheritance and interface inheritance?
interface inheritance is a misleading term. Interface inheritance would be equivalent to the union of the method signatures of interfaces ( no typo here, an interface may implment multiple other interfaces) Class inheritance - single hierarchy (in C#), and not only the methods are inherited, but also the data members. (interface in C# cannot define data members)
Interface can be defined inside another class?
yes ,interface can be defined inside another class
