Is Java 100% Object Oriented?

Is java 100% pure OOP?
I said no.. the reason is we can use primitive data types(which is not a
object)also....and also static method which can be accessed without
creating objects...Hope u understood my problem.
Can anyone give clear idea about this and mention if anything wrong with
my answer.........

Hi Guys,
No, Java is not a pure Object Oriented Language.
Many languages claim to be Object-Oriented. While the exact definition of the term is highly variable depending upon who you ask, there are several qualities thati feel an Object-Oriented language should have:
* Encapsulation/Information Hiding
* Inheritance
* Polymorphism/Dynamic Binding
* All pre-defined types are Objects
* All operations performed by sending messages to Objects
* All user-defined types are Objects
Java fails in the fourth condition because Java has primitive types viz; int ,float etc.....
And it also fails at the fifth condition because it fails to satisfy the fourth condition.
Only three languages are pure Object-Oriented
* Eiffel
* Smalltalk
* Ruby
For other details u can visit the blog created by me at http://noviceinjava.blogspot.com/
Though it has just started it will certainly grow as people get to know bout it
Thanks n Regards

  • Is Java 100% Object oriented programming language?

    Hi,
    Is java 100% Object orinented programming language?
    If not then what is the reason?
    Thanks in advance

    Object oriented paradigm of programming says that everything in a programming world should felt like object mean: - "Abstract and Encapsulated" The paradigm is not completely satisfied by Java. Some of the feature that makes such violation are 1. Existence of primitives, which are manipulated in ordinary style. 2. Existence of mathematical operator handled also not like objects. These two essential characteristics make Java somewhat what is the question. But here again Java is big winner to make presence of wrapper classes to wrap up this difficulty or adaption. Moreover in Java 1.5 you will feel more free because of auto-boxing feature that make auto conversion of object to primitive and primitive to object.

  • Can I develop a 100% Object Oriented DB with Oracle 11?

    Hello!
    I want to know if I can develop a 100% object oriented data base in Oracle 10g or 11? I have reed the "Oracle Database 11g The Complete Reference" chapter 41 "Advanced Object-
    Oriented Concepts" and I still have the doubt if I can implement a database 100% object-oriented. I hope you can help me.
    Thanks!

    The short answer is no.
    See this AskTom blog for the long answer.
    http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1545206281987
    It starts off with Tom saying
    >
    First off, in Oracle you would be considering pure relational versus Object RELATIONAL,
    not OO. We have object relational extensions to the relational database. We do not have
    an object oriented database.
    >
    I think you will find a lot of infomation in there from Tom and other respondents about the differences between relational, object relational and object oriented.

  • Is Java pure Object-Oriented ????

    hi friends,
    wat do u feel, Is java a pure object oriented language??? then wat is object oriented pgming ???

    On "purity" as a measure of object-orientedness:
    However, this definition is problematic in that it implies that "purity" is a valid concept. Yet, there is no accepted definition of the term "pure OO language". Despite years of discussion and argument on the net, and in other circles, I have never seen anyone present a definition of a "pure OOPL" that met with general agreement by others.
    -- Robert Martin, founder, CEO, and president of Object Mentor Inc., software industry leader.
    On the value of using "purity" as a measure of a programming language:
    I will not go into the discussion about ``purity'' beyond mentioning that I think that a general purpose programming language ought to and can support more than one programming style (``paradigm'').
    -- Bjarne Stroustrup, designer and implementer of the C++ programming language, etc.

  • Can I develop a 100% Object Oriented DB with Oracle 10g?

    Hello!
    I need to know if I can develop a pure Object Oriented Data Base? because I have been looking for this information, and I just found Oracle's arquitecture is oriented to relational object model.
    Thanks!

    Dear "925803",
    1) You're asking this question in the Oracle Application Express discussion forum - not really related to generic Database questions. This Database forum may be more suited: General Database Discussions
    2) The Oracle database is not an object-oriented database.

  • Is java purely object oriented??

    Please don't shot me...
    I'm having this doubt. because there are primitive datatypes in java which are not objects
    and also a java program is not an object of any class.its started from main..
    Please give ur comments

  • Java is 100% pure object oriented language or not?

    PLS help me...?
    I am get confussed.
    Java is 100% pure object oriented language or not?

    the only full OO programming language on thisplanet
    is SmallTalk.On your planet maybe. On mine, at least Eiffel
    also exists, probably more unknown others too. Some
    count Ruby, but I never looked at it.Ruby is pure OO too, FYI.
    the only full OO programming language on thisplanet
    is SmallTalk.Care to explain it in some more detail? What
    exactly is 100% OO, b.t.w.?No, I don't careWow, what an incredibly unhelpful response.
    In essence, 100% OO implies that every type within the language is an object. Since Java has primitive types like int, boolean, float etc, it cannot count as 100% OO.

  • Is java 100% pure object oriented?

    I am very confuse is java 100% pure object oriented language.
    bcoz
    1)object oriented means everything should be in object but
    primitive data type is not object.
    2) java don't support multiple inheritances which is one of the oop 's
    concept

    I'd say that java is 100% java. No more, noless.
    I'm gonna say it's about 99.4738383% java. For
    no
    reason other than to confuse idiotsSomeone's always bumping their heads against
    some
    arbitrary theoretical purity when they aremissing
    what was, is and always has been most important:
    functionality.Functionality matters virtually nothing to thepeople
    that post these "questions". All that matters is
    being able to say the right thing in interviews so
    they can get a job and get carried through their
    career by people who actually know what they're
    doing. See it all the timeHehe, who carries you whilst you post here all day

  • Java is a Partially Object-Oriented Programming (True/False)

    Hi everybody,
    Many of them saying that Java is not purely Object-Oriented Programming.
    I am very much confusing on that, so please help me to confirm that "Java is a Partially Object-Oriented Programming Language".

    I am very much confusing on that, so please help me to confirm that "Java is a Partially Object-Oriented Programming Language".Java is not purely Object-Oriented Programming,for this two reasons are there
    one is we cant create Objects to the primitive data types and there is no multiple Inheritance concept .While there are many definitions of "purely object oriented," and no on widely accepted standard, I've never heard one that requires multiple inheritance. That would NOT be a reason why Java is not fully OO.

  • Java is pure object oriented programing language or not why?

    please clear
    java is pure object oriented programing language or not why?

    And there is some concepts of object orientation that
    Java not implements like: Operator
    Overloading and Multiple Heritage. But, i think
    that we can live without those features.
    And the sucess of Java is a proof of this.I don't believe that operator overloading and multiple inheritance are required aspects of object programming.

  • Why java is called pure object oriented.

    i know that java is called as pure object oriented language.
    why it is called so even though it has primitive datatypes and also it doesnot support multiple inheritance completely. it only supports in the case of interfaces but not in the case of classes. then why it is called pure object oriented.

    Its because you cannot write an executable java program without creating an object. Well, you can:
    public class a
      public static void main( String a[] )
    }In contrary to C++, there can be no variables or functions in the wild (outside a class).
    You can not create an executable java program without creating a class (but not forcibly its instance, an object.)
    The "pure object oriented" wording in this sense has not really much importance, it is rather a marketing ploy.

  • Why java is called as true object oriented language?

    HI Friends,
    Though few oops concepts is not supported , why java is called as truly object oriented language and C++ as not a purely object oriented language???? Please, if any one know , give me the answer.
    Thanks to all.

    few oops concepts is not supportedwhich concepts?
    as far as i know...to be OO, you must supports
    encapsulation, abstraction, inheritancxe, composition (aggretration, et all) and polymorphism. Java supports all those comcept..now..Java is a hybrid due to what Jverd has pointed out.
    the only pure OO language that i know of is SmallTalk. they have Meta class that can create Class object. and all their primitaives are object.
    C# comes close, but their Class are not object.
