instantiation of FragmentTransaction object not possble according to the compiler, Android

when I try to instantiate FragmentTransaction() I the the error message:

"can not instantiate the type FragmentTransaction"

in google Android reference it states:

Public Constructors

FragmentTransaction()

so if there is a constructor of FragmentTransaction() then it must be possible to do this,

 FragmentTransaction fragtransaction = new FragmentTransaction();

the question is WHY is this not possible?

FragmentTransaction, per the documentation, is an abstract class and therefore cannot be directly instantiated. Instead, you should use FragmentManager's beginTransaction method to get a valid FragmentTransaction
