Can you list the methods provided by the Object class in Java?

In Java, the Object class provides basic methods that are inherited by all classes:

• equals(Object obj) — compares objects for equality.
• hashCode() — returns the hash code of the object, used in collections.
• toString() — returns a string representation of the object.
• getClass() — returns the Class object describing the class of the object.
• clone() — creates a copy of the object (requires implementation of the Cloneable interface).
• finalize() — called before garbage collection (deprecated method).
• wait(), notify(), notifyAll() — methods for thread work and synchronization.

These methods provide basic functionality for all objects in Java.
