Q2. Whats the difference between interface and abstract class?
Ans. 
Interface is a contract with no implementation, while abstract class can have some implementation.
• Interface cannot have any implementation, only method signatures.

• Abstract class can have both abstract methods and concrete methods.

• A class can implement multiple interfaces but can only inherit from one abstract class.

• Interfaces are used for full abstraction, while abstract classes are used for partial abstraction.
