Is C++ an Object Oriented language?

C++ is usually considered a “multi-paradigm” language. That is, you can use it for object-oriented, procedural, and even functional programming.

Those who would deny that C++ is OO generally have beef with the fact that the primitive types are not objects themselves. By this standard, Java would also not be considered OO.

It is certainly true that C++ isn’t OO to the same extent as Smalltalk, Ruby, Self, etc. are, but it is definitely an effective OO language by most standards.
