Question

Which keyword is used for accessing the features of a package?

a) package

b) import

c) extends

d) export

Answer 1

(b) import

Reason: The import keyword is used to access the classes and interfaces of a particular package to the current file. In other words, it is used to import the user-defined and built-in classes and interfaces into the source file of java so that the current file can easily access the other packages by directly using its name. For example,

   import java.awt.*; 
   import java.lang.Object;

The first import statement imports all the classes and interfaces of java.awt package. Whereas, the second import statement only imports the Object class of the java.lang package.

The package keyword is used to create a new package. The extends keyword indicates that the new class is derived from the base or parent class using inheritance, and export is not a keyword in Java.
