# # Object is the default root of all Ruby objects. Object inherits from # BasicObject which allows creating alternate object hierarchies. Methods on # Object are available to all classes unless explicitly overridden. # # Object mixes in the Kernel module, making the built-in kernel functions # globally accessible. Although the instance methods of Object are defined by # the Kernel module, we have chosen to document them here for clarity. # # When referencing constants in classes inheriting from Object you do not need # to use the full namespace. For example, referencing `File` inside `YourClass` # will find the top-level File class. # # In the descriptions of Object's methods, the parameter *symbol* refers to a # symbol, which is either a quoted string or a Symbol (such as `:name`). # # ## What's Here # # First, what's elsewhere. Class Object: # # * Inherits from [class # BasicObject](BasicObject.html#class-BasicObject-label-What-27s+Here). # * Includes [module Kernel](Kernel.html#module-Kernel-label-What-27s+Here). # # # Here, class Object provides methods for: # # * [Querying](#class-Object-label-Querying) # * [Instance Variables](#class-Object-label-Instance+Variables) # * [Other](#class-Object-label-Other) # # # ### Querying # # [!~](#method-i-21~) # : Returns `true` if `self` does not match the given object, otherwise # `false`. # # [<=>](#method-i-3C-3D-3E) # : Returns 0 if `self` and the given object `object` are the same object, # or if `self == object`; otherwise returns `nil`. # # #=== # : Implements case equality, effectively the same as calling #==. # # #eql? # : Implements hash equality, effectively the same as calling #==. # # #kind_of?

Typically, this method is overridden in descendant # classes to provide class-specific meaning. # # Unlike #==, the #equal? method should never be overridden by subclasses as it # is used to determine object identity (that is, `a.equal?(b)` if and only if # `a` is the same object as `b`): # # obj = "a" # other = obj.dup # # obj == other #=> true # obj.equal? other #=> false # obj.equal? obj #=> true # # The #eql? method returns `true` if `obj` and `other` refer to the same hash # key. This is used by Hash to test members for equality. For any pair of # objects where #eql? returns `true`, the #hash value of both objects must be # equal. So any subclass that overrides #eql? should also override #hash # appropriately. # # For objects of class Object, #eql? is synonymous with #==. Subclasses # normally continue this tradition by aliasing #eql? to their overridden #== # method, but there are exceptions.
