An abstract class is a special kind of class that comes with the C# programming language. This class has similar functionalities to an interface. For example, an abstract class can have methods without implementation and with implementation. Consequently, when a class implements an abstract class, the class has to override the abstract methods of the abstract class. One of the main characteristics of an abstract class is that it can't be instantiated. An abstract class can only be used for inheritance. It might or might not have abstract methods and assessors. Sealed and abstract modifiers can't be placed in the same class, as they have completely separate meanings.
Let's take a look at an example of an abstract class:
abstract class Animal {
public string name;
public int ageInMonths;
public abstract void Move();
public void Eat(...
