๐Ÿ’ก Is Java a pure object-oriented language?
๐Ÿ‘‰ Short answer: No, itโ€™s not!



While Java is strongly object-oriented, it isnโ€™t purely so. Here's why
:
๐Ÿ”ธ You can write code without creating objects โ€“ for example, using static methods
.
๐Ÿ”ธ Java uses primitive types like int, boolean, char that are not objects
.
Want full object-orientation? Languages like Smalltalk take it all the way
.
But Java strikes a balance for performance and practicality. โš–
