Inheritance in java and Superclasses(Object, Class)

by

Every class without an explicit superclass inherits from java.lang.Object and every other class inherits from it indirectly because when you go up the inheritance tree, you will finally end at a class without an explicit superclass and then at Object.

java.lang.Class is the superclass of all class objects (not of all objects!), for example of String.class.
