Question

Explain cosmic superclass with the help of example

Answer 1

The ultimate superclass Object is taken for granted if no superclass is explicitly mentioned. Because every class in Java extends Object, it is important to be familiar with the services provided by the Object class. We go over the basic ones in this chapter and refer you to later chapters or to the on-line documentation for what is not covered here. (Several methods of Object come up only when dealing with threads—see Volume II for more on threads.)
