    In C++, any class having at least one pure virtual function makes itself an
    Abstract Base Class.

    If an Abstract Base Class has only pure virtual functions, neither data
    member nor non-virtual function, is there a term for it in C++? "interface
    base classes"?

    If an Abstract Base Class has pure virtual functions and non-virtual
    functions, but no data member, is there a term for it?

    If an Abstract Base Class has pure virtual functions and data members, but
    no non-virtual function, is there a term for it?

    What is exactly an Interface in C++?

    What makes an Interface differ from an Abstract Base Class?

    Thank you very much!
