Why is C plus plus called an object oriented programming language?

Answer 1

Any language that supports class types, private and protected data, inheritance, polymorphism, function overriding, virtual methods is regarded as an object oriented programming language. However, while C++ supports OOP, it does not rely on it. You can mix C++ and C-style code (non-OOP) in the same program.

Answer 2

C++ evolved from C and therefore supports the C primitive types such as bool, int and char. In order to be pure object oriented, like Java or C#, all names must be objects -- there can be no primitives.

Answer 3

Because C++ has friend functions/class using which we can access the private data members of the class which violates the data hiding property of C++ and in C++ we write main function outside of the class. But in pure object oriented language everything has to be inside the class.

Answer 4

Unlike the standard C language, C++ permits the creation of special structure types known as classes, which are private by default (structures are public by default). As a result, all OOP concepts are available in C++, including the four main features: data hiding, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism.

Answer 5

C++ is not a pure object oriented programming language because you are free to use procedural programming and structured programming alongside object oriented programming. A pure object oriented programming language would not permit this. If you were to avoid using object oriented programming principals altogether then you'd effectively be writing C-style code.

Answer 6

C++ code can mix C-style code and Assembly Language routines in the same program, neither of which are OOP languages.

Answer 7

because in c language we can't use classes,polymorphism,constructors , distructors specially OBJECTS so it is not object oriented language
