There's some controversy over the answer to your question, I suppose it depends on who you ask, and what their definition of 'pure' OOP is. Most experts will tell you that Java is not a pure OOP language, because it has primitive data types such as int, char, double, etc. that can store data without object instantiation. Of course, by that definition, nearly all OOP languages are impure.
