Object Oriented Programming
Object Oriented Programming or OOPs is a programming model which is based on the Objects.
We probably have to talk about the Class before we talk about an Object.
In simple, A class can be considered as a blueprint or template which defines attributes (or variables), members and/or functions containing the behavior of the class. A class doesn't hold or contain any data as is, an instance of the class is to be created to hold and/or process the data.
An Object is an instance of the class, which by default contains the instance of the variables and/or members defined as part of the class.
Any number of objects can be created from a class and each object occupies separate storage and contains different data.
E.g.: Class is like a blueprint of a house. Object is a house constructed physically based on the blueprint. Any numbers of houses can be constructed with the same blueprint.
Is Java a pure Object Oriented Language?
We can say Java is a Object Oriented Language, Any functionality that is to be run needs to be defined in a class and corresponding methods/functions.
There is one thing that we need to consider is the use of primitive data types which are not classes. Java classes/objects can directly access primitive data types making which is deviating from calling it as a Pure Object oriented language.
There are 8 primitive data types (byte, boolean, char, short, int, float, long and double) in java.
