1. Understanding Abstract Base Classes in Python

Abstract Base Classes (ABCs) in Python are a critical component of Python’s Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) system. They allow you to define methods that must be created within any child classes built from the abstract base class. By using ABCs, you enforce a certain level of consistency across different subclasses in your Python applications.

Here’s how ABCs function in Python:

• Defining an ABC: An ABC is…
