You don't need to import a separate "string" package in Java. The String
class is a fundamental part of the Java language and is automatically available for use in your programs.
Here's why:
- Built-in Class: The
String
class is part of thejava.lang
package, which is automatically imported in every Java program. - No Explicit Import: This means you don't need to use an
import
statement to access theString
class. You can directly createString
objects and use its methods.
Example:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String message = "Hello, world!";
System.out.println(message);
}
}
In this example, we create a String
object named message
and use the println()
method of the System.out
object to print its value.
Note: While you don't need to explicitly import the String
class, you might need to import other classes that deal with strings, such as StringBuilder
or StringBuffer
, from the java.lang
package if you use them in your program.
