It cannot be instantiated on its own and typically includes at least one pure virtual function. A pure virtual function is a function declared within a class that has no implementation relative to the base class and must be implemented by all derived classes. Abstract classes are crucial in object-oriented programming to enforce a contract for derived classes. Key…
