This research paper focuses on the import statement in Java, which is a compile-time directive that specifies which classes, interfaces, and static members from other packages are accessible to the current source code file. It is a programmer’s convenience that improves code readability and organization by allowing the use of a class’s simple name instead of its fully qualified name. The import parameter does not include the code in the program, nor does it impact runtime performance. The import statement in Java serves the primary purpose of making classes and interfaces from other packages accessible within the current Java source file without requiring their fully qualified names. The import utilises in Java offers several benefits, primarily centered around code readability, conciseness, and maintainability. The function of import statements explicitly declares which external classes and packages are being used within a file. This provides a clear overview of dependencies, making it easier to understand the code’s structure and its interactions with other parts of the application or external libraries.
