Why Is Java Called Object Oriented Programming Language?

Java is called Object Oriented Programming Language Because Java is a kind of programming language that uses Object in each of its programs.

In each java program you have to create classes and in the main function of java you have to create objects of the classes.

You can write a c++ program without creating a class but you have to create class and objects in java program that why java is called "purely" object oriented programming language.

All concepts like inheritance, modularity, polymorphism, and encapsulation in coop are supported by java.

Java is not pure object oriented language because the primitive data types are not objects in Java.

It follows the concepts of oops.

Object-oriented programming strictly separates the notion of what is to be done from how it is done. "What" is described as a set of methods, publicly available data, and their associated semantics. This combination of methods, data, and semantics is given a shape of a class that later known as a user defined type. The designer of the class makes a template out of the methods, data, and semantics and makes it available to the programmers who use it. This template defines a type such that all objects that are instances of that type are agreed to the methods, data, and semantics modelled by the template. Java follows the above mentioned phenomena for programming problems, therefore it is called object oriented programming language. Hope it answers the question.

Some of that was almost useful. Most of it completely misses the point of OO programming. (Some of it is actually wrong). Understand what "phemomena" means. (and "semantics").. Your first bad answer. I am disappointed.

But it is an old question, so perhaps does not matter that much.

the concept of "pure" in object orientation is a little subjective and not quite well defined in practice, but there are pure object oriented programming languages. The principles of object orientation on the other hand are well defined. Programming languages are quite nested in complicated materials, and it is hard to say that everything must be an object, since all formal systems need primitives. How can you define an object without the notion of an object as a definition? This all comes down to type theory, and one can't define everything as "something" without knowing the "something". With this, Java is not actually a pure object oriented programming language since it needs primitives. The only way you can yield a pure programming language with no primitives is not even having the notion of defining concrete terms in a programming language since it doesn't have primitives in it.

Smalltalk is an example of a pure programming language. With this, I can't exactly answer the question since you've presented two OO programming languages, neither of which is "pure".

It's actually called "object oriented" rather than "object only". The existence of primitives is irrelevant.

java is object oriented programming  language but not pure object oriented because  supports Primitive datatype such as int, byte, long... Etc, to be used these are not object.

Main features are:

  • Inheritance
  • Encepculation
  • Polymorphism
  • Association
  • Aggregation

Java is a OOP language and it is not a pure Object Based Programming Language. For a programming language to be pure Object Oriented. ... Contrast with a pure OOP language like Smalltalk, where there are no primitive types, andboolean, int and methods are all objects.

In my way Java is not pure object oriented.
Object oriented programming language should only have objects whereas java have char,float ,int which are not objects.

Yes,it is a called so,because everything you use in Java should be used only in classes and their cannot be isolated functions.So,it is a pure Object Oriented Language.
