I implement the basic behavior required for any object in Amber.

In most cases, subclassing `ProtoObject` is wrong and `Object` should be used instead. However subclassing `ProtoObject` can be useful in some special cases like proxy implementations.!

ProtoObject subclass: #Object
	instanceVariableNames: ''
	package: 'Kernel-Objects'!
!Object commentStamp!
**I am the root of the Smalltalk class system**. With the exception of unual subclasses of `ProtoObject`, all other classes in the system are subclasses of me.

I provide default behavior common to all normal objects (some of it inherited from `ProtoObject`), such as:

- accessing
- copying
- comparison
- error handling
- message sending
- reflection

Also utility messages that all objects should respond to are defined here.

I have no instance variable.

##Access

Instance variables can be accessed with `#instVarAt:` and `#instVarAt:put:`. `#instanceVariableNames` answers a collection of all instance variable names.
Accessing JavaScript properties of an object is done through `#basicAt:`, `#basicAt:put:` and `basicDelete:`.

##Copying

Copying an object is handled by `#copy` and `#deepCopy`. The first one performs a shallow copy of the receiver, while the second one performs a deep copy.
The hook method `#postCopy` can be overriden in subclasses to copy fields as necessary to complete the full copy. It will be sent by the copy of the receiver.

##Comparison

I understand equality `#=` and identity `#==` comparison.

##Error handling

- `#halt` is the typical message to use for inserting breakpoints during debugging.
- `#error:` throws a generic error exception
- `#doesNotUnderstand:` handles the fact that there was an attempt to send the given message to the receiver but the receiver does not understand this message.
	Overriding this message can be useful to implement proxies for example.!

I define the protocol for logic testing operations and conditional control structures for the logical values (see the `controlling` protocol).

I have two instances, `true` and `false`.

I am directly mapped to JavaScript Boolean. The `true` and `false` objects are the JavaScript boolean objects.

## Usage Example:

    aBoolean not ifTrue: [ ... ] ifFalse: [ ... ]!

Object subclass: #Date
	instanceVariableNames: ''
	package: 'Kernel-Objects'!
!Date commentStamp!
I am used to work with both dates and times. Therefore `Date today` and `Date now` are both valid in
Amber and answer the same date object.

Date directly maps to the `Date()` JavaScript constructor, and Amber date objects are JavaScript date objects.

## API

The class-side `instance creation` protocol contains some convenience methods for creating date/time objects such as `#fromSeconds:`.

Arithmetic and comparison is supported (see the `comparing` and `arithmetic` protocols).

The `converting` protocol provides convenience methods for various convertions (to numbers, strings, etc.).!

!Point commentStamp!
I represent an x-y pair of numbers usually designating a geometric coordinate.

## API

Instances are traditionally created using the binary `#@` message to a number:

	100@120

Points can then be arithmetically manipulated:

	100@100 + (10@10)

...or for example:

	(100@100) * 2

**NOTE:** Creating a point with a negative y-value will need a space after `@` in order to avoid a parsing error:

	100@ -100 "but 100@-100 would not parse"!

Object subclass: #Random
	instanceVariableNames: ''
	package: 'Kernel-Objects'!
!Random commentStamp!
I an used to generate a random number and I am implemented as a trivial wrapper around javascript `Math.random()`.

## API

The typical use case it to use the `#next` method like the following:

	Random new next

This will return a float x where x < 1 and x > 0. If you want a random integer from 1 to 10 you can use `#atRandom`

	10 atRandom

A random number in a specific interval can be obtained with the following:

	(3 to: 7) atRandom

Be aware that `#to:` does not create an Interval as in other Smalltalk implementations but in fact an `Array` of numbers, so it's better to use:

	5 atRandom + 2

Since `#atRandom` is implemented in `SequencableCollection` you can easy pick an element at random:

	#('a' 'b' 'c') atRandom

As well as letter from a `String`:

	'abc' atRandom

Since Amber does not have Characters this will return a `String` of length 1 like for example `'b'`.!

!UndefinedObject commentStamp!
I describe the behavior of my sole instance, `nil`. `nil` represents a prior value for variables that have not been initialized, or for results which are meaningless.

`nil` is the Smalltalk equivalent of the `undefined` JavaScript object.

__note:__ When sending messages to the `undefined` JavaScript object, it will be replaced by `nil`.!
