Packages Concept

► Definition: A package is a namespace that organizes a set of


related classes and interfaces.
► Purpose: Helps in avoiding name conflicts, and controls
access.
► Types:
► Built-in packages (provided by Java API)
► User-defined packages (created by developers)
► Syntax:
► java
► package packageName;
Advantages of Using Packages

► Namespace Management: Prevents naming conflicts by


grouping related classes.
► Access Protection: Defines visibility rules for classes and
interfaces.
► Reusability: Encourages code reuse by packaging related
functionality together.
► Maintenance: Easier to manage and update the code.
Creating User-Defined
Packages
► Steps to Create a Package:
► 1. Declare the package at the beginning of the Java file.
► 2. Define the class/interface within the declared package.
► 3. Compile the classes and store them in appropriate directories.
► Example:
► package mypackage;
► public class MyClass {
► public void display() {
► System.out.println("Welcome to My Package");
► }
► }
► Directory Structure:
► - mypackage/MyClass.java
Using User-Defined Packages

► Compile the package:


► shell
► javac MyClass.java
► Access the package:
► import mypackage.MyClass;
► public class Test {
► public static void main(String[] args) {
► MyClass obj = new MyClass();
► obj.display();
► }
► }
Java Built-in Packages
► Common Java Packages:
► - java.lang (default package, no import needed)
► - java.util (contains utility classes like ArrayList, HashMap)
► - java.io (for input-output operations)
► - java.net (for networking)
► - java.awt (for GUI components)
► Example:
► java
► import java.util.ArrayList;
► public class Example {
► public static void main(String[] args) {
► ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
► list.add("Hello");
► list.add("World");
► System.out.println(list);
► }
► }
Import Statement
► Purpose: To bring one or more classes or entire packages into visibility.
► Types of Import Statements:
► Single type import
► java
► import java.util.List;
► On-demand type import
► import java.util.*;
► Example:
► import java.util.Date;
► public class DateExample {
► public static void main(String[] args) {
► Date date = new Date();
► System.out.println(date);
► }
► }
Static Import
► Definition: Allows the use of static members of a class without
specifying the class name.
► Syntax:
► java
► import static java.lang.Math.*;
► Example:
► import static java.lang.Math.PI;
► import static java.lang.Math.sqrt;
► public class StaticImportExample {
► public static void main(String[] args) {
► double radius = 5.0;
► double area = PI * radius * radius;
► double root = sqrt(area);
► System.out.println("Area: " + area);
► System.out.println("Square Root: " + root);
► }
► }
