The interviewer does not require you to give syntax related answers, instead:
1- In general, the interfaces are favoured over calsses.
2- However, we use abstract classes in cases we want to enforce some implementations in subclasess

Anonym · Answer

An abstract class may have some functions already defined where as an interface will not have any function defined. The extending(implements) class must define every function declared in the interface. With Abstract class, the extending class may override some of the functions defined in the abstract class.
