abstract_class.py

"""
Abstract class is an extension of a basic class. Like a basic class, an
abstract class has methods and state. Unlike a basic class, it inherits
the `ABC` class and has at least one `abstractmethod`. That means we
cannot create an instance directly from its constructor. In this module,
we will create an abstract class and two concrete classes.
