It is known that object is an instance of a class, then how objects form the super class of every class?

It is difficult to understand what is actually an object

Hi

There is a class named Object and every class in java decend from this class. Even though is called Object is not an object, it's a class. However like any other class in java you can create objects from it:

Object obj=new Object();

In this example obj is the object.
