Java Packages Notes

A package in Java is a namespace that organizes related classes and interfaces, helping to avoid naming conflicts and enabling code reusability. Packages can be created using the 'package' keyword, and if no package is declared, the class belongs to the default package. Built-in packages like java.lang and java.util provide additional functionality, and the 'import' keyword is used to access classes from other packages.

A package in Java is a namespace that groups related classes and interfaces together. It helps
organize code and avoid naming conflicts.
package mypackage;

public class Hello {


public void display() {
[Link]("Hello from package");
}
}

2. Why are packages used in Java?

Packages help in code organization, avoiding naming conflicts, providing access control, and
enabling code reusability.

3. How do you create a package in Java?


package mypackage;

public class Test {


public static void main(String[] args) {
[Link]("Package created");
}
}

Compile using: javac -d . [Link]

4. Syntax to declare a package

5. Default package

If no package is declared, the class belongs to the default package.

6. Compile and run package program

javac -d . [Link]
java [Link]

7. Package vs Folder
Package is logical grouping, folder is physical storage.

8. Built-in packages

Examples: [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link]


import [Link];

ArrayList<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();

9. Import keyword

package mypack;

public class Add {


public int sum(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
