Everything about Any type
Universal type in logic and computer science
In type theory and computer science, type systems include a top, universal, or any type, which includes all other types as subtypes. The top type is sometimes called also universal type, or universal supertype as all other types in the type system of interest are subtypes of it. In object-oriented languages, it is often called Object, as it represents all possible objects. Wikipedia →
