C++ is not pure object oriented programming language. Why?

Answer 1

A pure Object Oriented language means that any value in the program is an object and not just a variable of a primitive type.

Java, C++, etc are OOP languages, but none of them is a pure OOP language, as types like int, float, bool/boolean are not classes but are primitive types and do not have methods of their own.

Ruby, Objective C, etc are more oriented towards being a pure OOP language, as every variable in these languages are objects. Even classes that define objects can be object instances of meta-classes.

Answer 2

In a completely OOP language like Java everything must be defined inside a Class (Even the main method). However in C++ you can write programs without having any classes(Structured Programming). Unlike Java, In C++ the main method is defined outside classes.

in c++, it's not necessary to create a class for a program. so we can say that it's not 💯% object oriented. while others like java , you must have a class.
