difference between class and interface in java

Here’s the difference between class and interface.

classinterface
“class” keyword is used to declare class.whereas “interface” keyword is used to declare an interface.
multiple inheritance is not supported in a classwhereas interface supports multiple inheritance.
A class can have constructor.An interface can not have constructor.
class can have concrete methods and abstract methods.An interface can have only abstract methods. From Java 8 onwards an interface can have static and default methods.
A class supports non-static, final, static and non-final variables.An interface permits only static and final variables.
A class can implement an interface.An interface can extend another interface can’t implement.
class members can be of any type like public, private.An interface members are only public.

Now let’s see example on class and interface.

interface Car
{
   public void accelerate();
}
class Audi implements Car
{
   public void accelerate()
   {
      System.out.println("Audi accelerating.");
   }
}
public class InterfaceClassExample
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      Audi obj1 = new Audi();
      obj1.accelerate();
      Audi obj2 = new Audi();
      obj2.accelerate();
   }
}

Output:

Audi accelerating.
Audi accelerating.
