In this video, I explain what abstract base classes are with the example of the so-called numeric tower. That concept classifies concrete numeric data types (e.g., int's or float's). It is useful to understand the numeric tower as it makes us think in behaviors and hierarchies, a good basis before going into greater detail on object-orientation.
