Experiment 5 Aim: Theory

This document discusses packages in Java. Packages are used to group related classes and avoid name conflicts. There are two types of packages: built-in packages from the Java API library that contain prewritten classes, and user-defined packages that allow creating your own packages by using the package keyword and saving files in a corresponding directory. The code shows an example of creating a user-defined package called mypack that contains a MyPackageClass with a main method to call an add method and output results.

EXPERIMENT 5

AIM: Program on Packages


THEORY:

A package in Java is used to group related classes. Think of it as a folder in a file


directory. We use packages to avoid name conflicts, and to write a better
maintainable code. Packages are divided into two categories:

1. Built-in Packages (packages from the Java API)


The Java API is a library of prewritten classes, that are free to use,
included in the Java Development Environment. The library contains
components for managing input, database programming, and much
more. The library is divided into packages and classes. Meaning you can
either import a single class (along with its methods and attributes), or a
whole package that contain all the classes that belong to the specified
package. To use a class or a package from the library, you need to use
the import keyword.

2. User-defined Packages (create your own packages)


To create your own package, you need to understand that Java uses a
file system directory to store them. To create a package, use the package
keyword. Save the file as MyPackageClass.java, and compile it. When we
compiled the package in the example above, a new folder was created,
called "mypack". To run the MyPackageClass.java file

CODE:
package mypack;
class MyPackageClass {
void add(int a, int b, int c){
int sum = a+b+c;
System.out.println("The sum is "+sum);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {


MyPackageClass p1 = new MyPackageClass();
System.out.println("This is my package!");
p1.add(69,420,46);

}
}
