Package in Java

A package organizes Java classes and interfaces into logical groups. There are predefined Java packages like java.lang and user-defined packages. Packages provide advantages like reusability, security, and avoiding naming conflicts. To use a class from another package, it must be imported. The document provides examples of using predefined and user-defined packages in Java code.

Pre-defined packages

1- java.lang: default package, heart of java because without this package we can’t write
even single program, no need to import this package.
System, String, Object, Integer etc. classes in this package
2- java.util: used to implement data structure of java, contain utility classes, also known as
collection framework.
Linklist, Stack, Vector, Hashset, Treeset, etc…

3- java.io: very useful to perform input output operations of file.


File, FlieWriter, FileReader classes of this package.

4- java.applet: mainly use to develop GUI application, applet programs are web related
program created at server but executed at client machine.
Applet class of this package.
5- java.awt: awt stands for abstract window toolkit, used to develop GUI applications,

URL, InetAddress, URLconnection etc…
7- java.sql: use for database connectivity.
Connection, Statement, Resultset etc

Example of pre-defined package

import java.util.Scanner;

class MyClass {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner myObj = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter username");

String userName = myObj.nextLine();

System.out.println("Username is: " + userName);

User-defined package
package myFirstPackage;
class Main {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Wooohooo!! I created my first package");
}
}
For compile
javac -d . Main.java

for run
java myFirstPackage.Main

Another example of package


package MyPackage;public class Compare {
int num1, num2;Compare(int n, int m) {
num1 = n;
num2 = m;
}public void getmax(){
if ( num1 > num2 ) {
System.out.println("Maximum value of two numbers is " + num1);
}else {
System.out.println("Maximum value of two numbers is " + num2);
}
}public static void main(String args[]) {
Compare current[] = new Compare[3];
current[1] = new Compare(5, 10);
current[2] = new Compare(123, 120);
for(int i=1; i < 3 ; i++)
{
current[i].getmax();
}
}
}

Importing a package
package Edureka;
import MyPackage.Compare;public class Demo{
public static void main(String args[]) {
int n=10, m=10;
Compare current = new Compare(n, m);
if(n != m) {
current.getmax();
}
else {
System.out.println("Both the values are same");
}
}
}
