What class do all classes extend from, even if you don't explicitly state it?

This is a question in the second part of OOP Python, and the answer is Base.

I don't understand how that is the answer, can someone explain please? Thanks in advance 😁

You got me wondering about this and the class is object and can be found in __bases__ . You can do this by opening a python console and simply typing int.__bases__, it contains a tuple of the classes your given class inherits from. You can use any class you can think of.

If this isn't clear enough let me know and I am happy to answer any further questions!
