After submitting my previous questions, I saw that you presented a segment on Interfaces and referenced Abstract Classes within the segment. I also saw your Lecture Summary which included summaries of Abstract Classes and Interfaces.
Both pieces of content helped me to get a "compare and contrast" perspective on abstract classes and interfaces, which was the focus of my last question above. Unless there is any further info that you would like to add to the topic, I now have some info to help me answer the last question.

Re: Abstract Classes:
I don't see the practical value of an abstract class. For example, why would someone want to assign a Shape subclass object like Square to a Shape data type? Please, would you provide some info or perspective about the practical value of abstract classes?
Note: I have an introductory background on Interfaces. In fact, the background material used Shape as the interface, and Square and Circle as implementers of the Shape interface. It seems like there is some overlap of purpose between abstract classes and interfaces. Please, would you provide some compare and contrast info on these two constructs?
