Java Object superclass

Question

I have a weird Java question:

As we know:

1. All Java classes extend java.lang.Object
2. All Java classes cannot extend itself

Answer 1

Object does not extend itself. It is the superclass for all other objects in the Java language. Think of it as being the level-0 (or root) class of all the objects in the Java API tree - including any objects you create as well.

I also just want to point out that your question is proven impossible by rule #2 that you posted. Your logic used to justify your question only takes #1 into account and is therefore extremely flawed.
