The [**sealed classes**](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/95344/what-is-sealed-class-in-c-sharp) are used to restrict the users from inheriting the class. Any class can be sealed by using the sealed keyword.When we use the sealed keyword with a method or class as an access modifier, the keyword tells the compiler that it is a method or class seal, and therefore, cannot be extended. No any class can be derived from a sealed class.

Whenever we will use sealed keyword (modifiers) in C# on a method, then that method loses their capabilities of overriding. That is the sealed method should be part of a derived class and the method must be an overridden method. ![What are sealed modifiers?](https://answers.mindstick.com/questionanswer/8c0409f3-c5ff-4229-bd06-a290314e1fb1/images/2fddcda1-fbae-4394-8e95-1d55ae679d0a.jpeg)\
