Question

I came across a term ‘primordial’ objects.After searching I got that a primordial class is that class that has no direct super-class For eg Object. Is this correct?

Also, how can I create a primordial class as every Java class extends from Object class.

Answer 1

You can’t create a primordial class.

Excepting Object, which has no superclass, every class has one and only one direct superclass (single inheritance). In the absence of any other explicit superclass, every class is implicitly a subclass of Object.

Classes can be derived from classes that are derived from classes that are derived from classes, and so on, and ultimately derived from the topmost class, Object. Such a class is said to be descended from all the classes in the inheritance chain stretching back to Object.
