STATIC IMPORT IN JAVA

When we import any static method from other class we use static import. Let us take an example –

import static java.lang.System.out;

public class Demo1 {

          public static void main(String[] args)

          {

                   out.println("Hello java");

          }

}

Output –

Hello java

Note – In the above example System is a class whereas out is a static method, so we have imported that method using import static java.lang.System.out; If we don’t give static in import then it will give an error because to import any static method we have to give static with import, and java.lang is a package name.

Example –

public class Demo2 {

          public static void show()

          {

                   System.out.println("I belong to Demo2 but executed in Demo1");

          }

}

import static staticblock.Demo2.show;

public class Demo1 {

          public static void main(String[] args)

          {

                   show();

          }

}

Output –

I belong to Demo2 but executed in Demo1
