So the use of abstract class is like providing some common characteristics to child classes, but these characteristics can't be used by instantiating objects to this abstract class, as it is not allowed to instantiate an object to abstract class.
[Like the object has no meaning if it was instantiated to an abstract class]

Am i right?
