Class with Object as a parameter
<p>I'm trying to translate some python code to scala code. So I'm a total noob in Python. </p>

<p>But why do some classes have object as a parameter but never explicitly use it? What's the reasoning for having it as a parameter in the first place?</p>

<p>Example:</p>

<pre><code>class Table(object)
</code></pre>

<p>Thank you for your time.</p>
