Abstract indicates that a class is intended only to be a base class of other classes.
Abstract classes features:
- cannot be instantiated.
- may contain abstract methods and accessors.
- it is not possible to modify an abstract class with the sealed modifier
- class derived from an abstract class must include actual implementations of all inherited abstract methods and accessors.
