hi,

I want to know why java is not a pure object oriented
programming language.

Thanks in advance.

Interesting. I always thought that Java was an OO language.

Java not purely object oriented.

We implement datatypes like int, float as normal as C, it is due to performance reasons. The primitive Java types (boolean, byte, char, short, int, long, float, and double), and the keyword void are also represented as Class objects.

Actually it's not a matter of pure OO. I dont care much, just use it.
