For any programming language to be called a pure object-oriented language, it should satisfy all the 7 rules below : 

1. Encapsulation/Data Hiding
2. Inheritance
3. Polymorphism
4. Abstraction
5. All predefined types are objects
6. All user-defined types are objects
7. All operations performed on objects must be only through methods exposed to the objects.

Java fails the rule no-5 and 7.

## Why java fails the "All predefined types are objects" rule?

We have primitive data types - ```boolean, byte, char, int, float, double, long, short``` which are predefined types but not objects.

## Why java fails the "All operations performed on objects must be only through methods exposed at the objects" rule?

It's due to the ```static``` keyword. When a variable is declared as static, they become class-level elements instead of instance variables. These static variables are accessible directly with the class name and can be used without the objects.
