Do we inherit from Object?

Question

Guys do we inherit from Object like from any other class (except of course that we don\'t have to explicitly state that) or there is some special privileges to Object class

Answer 1

No it's the same. Here the excerpt from JLS 8.1.3:

If the class declaration for any other class has no extends clause, then the class has the class Object as its implicit direct superclass.

Of course, Object itself is a bit special (JLS):

Each class except Object is an extension of (that is, a subclass of) a single existing class (§8.1.3) and may implement interfaces (§8.1.4).
