1. IEnumerable is an interface, where as List is one specific implementation of IEnumerable. List is a class.

2. FOR-EACH loop is the only possible way to iterate through a collection of IEnumerable, where as List can be iterated using several ways. List can also be indexed by an int index, element can be added to and removed from and have items inserted at a particular index.

3. IEnumerable doesn't allow random access, where as List does allow random access using integral index.

4. In general from a performance standpoint, iterating thru IEnumerable is much faster than iterating thru a List.

    1. In Abstract class we have Data & Function Member.
      All the Function member should be inherit by the derived class.
      We need the Class to be inherit and not to use as static and instance.
