Abstract classes are super classes that contain attributes and declarations of methods but cannot be used to create objects. They allow structuring of inheritance graphs to express common characteristics among classes without allowing objects to be created from the abstract classes themselves. Abstract classes serve as a blueprint for subclasses to implement and define the methods declared in the abstract class.

Abstract class is a super class for other sub classes which is only contains attributes and declarations of the methods and it is not used to create objects. Abstract classes allow us to structure our
inheritance graph. However, we actually don't
want to create objects from them: we only want to express common characteristics of a set of classes.
