Static import in java
Static import:
Static import is a feature which provides the facility to access static members of a class
directly without using class name.
Example:
Display.java
packagecom.sst;
//This class is used to display entered text.
public class Display {
public static void displayText(String text){
System.out.println(text);
}
Test
packagecom.sst.exceptions;
import static display.Display.*;
//This class is used to show static import example.
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]){
displayText("Hello java.");
}
Output:
Hello Java
