Package: Java - Lang Java - Awt Java - Applet Javax - Swing Java - SQL

Here is the code to create a Calculator class with basic arithmetic functions inside a package and using it in a Test class: //Calculator class inside letmecalculate package package letmecalculate; public class Calculator { public int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } public int subs(int a, int b) { return a - b; } public int multi(int a, int b) { return a * b; } public int div(int a, int b) { return a / b; } } //Test class using Calculator class import letmecalculate.Calculator; public class Test

Package

 A java package is a group of similar types of classes, interfaces and sub-packages.


 Package in java can be categorized in two form, built-in package and user-defined
package.
 There are many built-in packages such as java, lang, awt, javax, swing, net, io, util, sql
etc.

Built in packages in java

java.lang General support package, it is automatically imported into all java


programs
java.awt This package contains classes which are required to create GUI
application.
java.applet This package contains classes which are required to create Applet
application.
javax.swing It is an advanced package of awt.
java.net This package contains classes which are required to create network
application
java.sql This package contains classes which are required to create database
application
Creating a user defined package

The “package” keyword is used to create a package in java.

We include a “package” keyword as the firs statement in a java source file.

Any classes declared within that file will belong to the specified package. The package statement
defines a name space in which classes are stored. If you omit the package statement, the class
names are put into the default package, which has no name and is called un-named package.

Syntax:

package pakage_name;

Eg:

package MyPack;

Java uses file system directories to store packages. Remember that it is case significant and
directory name must match the package name exactly. More than one file can include the same
package statement.

You can create a hierarchy of packages. To do so, simply separate each package name from the
one above it by use of a period or dot operator.

The general syntax of a multi-leveled package statement is:

package pkg_name1 . pkg_name2 . pkg_name3;

Eg

package mypack1 . mypack2 . mypack3;


To create a User defined package

package p1;

import java.util.*;

public class Person

int id;

String name;

Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in);

public void set_data()

System.out.println("Enter the Id:");

id=scan.nextInt();

System.out.println("Enter the Name:");

name=scan.next();

public void display()

System.out.println(id+"\t"+name);

}
Compile java package

If you are not using any IDE, you need to follow the syntax given below:

javac -d . javafilename

Eg:

Javac –d . Person.java

Importing Package / How to access package from another package?

Eg 1:

import p1.Person;

class Student

public static void main(String args[])

Person p=new Person();

p.set_data();

p.display();

}
Eg2.

class Student

public static void main(String args[])

p1.Person p=new p1.Person();

p.set_data();

p.display();

Create a hierarchy of packages / Sub-package in java

Package inside the another package is called the sub-package. It should be created to categorize
the package further.

package mypack.p1;

import java.util.*;

public class Person

int id;

String name;

Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in);

public void set_data()


{

System.out.println("Enter the Id:");

id=scan.nextInt();

System.out.println("Enter the Name:");

name=scan.next();

public void display()

System.out.println(id+"\t"+name);

Importing Package

import mypack.p1.Person;

class Student

public static void main(String args[])

Person p=new Person();

p.set_data();

p.display();

}
// Demonstrate the use of package in inheritance

class Employee extends mypack.p1.Person


{

Public static void main(String args[])


{
Employee emp=new Employee();
emp.set_data();
emp.display();
}

Advantage of Java Package

1] Make easy searching or locating of classes and interfaces.


2] Java package is used to categorize the classes and interfaces so that they can be easily
maintained.
3] Java package provides access protection.
4] Java package removes naming collision.
5] Reuse the classes contained in the packages of other programs.
6] Implement data encapsulation (or data-hiding).

Q: created a class Calculator with the following function i.e add(), subs(), multi() and div() inside a
package name letmecalculate. Create a menu driven program in Test class and use the class
Calculator in the Test class.
