The Object object is the base object for all native and user-defined objects. All objects inherit from this superclass. You can create an Object object as well:
Object object has a dozen of properties and methods. Examples are constructor, toString(), and valueOf(). The object myObject above sports these properties. Alert the object. You should get [object Object]. You can pass a string to the Object constructor:
