Answer / namita

In abstract class concrete methods are also there. concrete
methods are the one which has implementation. so in future
if any programmer wants to give concrete methods can use
abstract class not interface.
In abstract class for methods and variables
public,private,protected modifier can be use. but in
interface public and abstract are permitted.
