When referring to a class
or interface
in a package
you need to
specify the package
name in front of every class
name and interface
name in the package
you want to access, like so, in the main
folder
~/jtw-tutorials
(outside of any package):
class
Bbegin
beginMain
var
pkg.A a1 =new
pkg.A(123); a1.meth1(); // prints out "meth1:123"var
pkg.A a2 =new
pkg.A(456); a2.meth2(); // prints out "meth2:456" pkg.A.func(); // prints out "func:666"endMain
end
To avoid having to qualify each class name and interface name with
it’s package, you need to use the import
directive like so before the
definition of the class like so:
import
pkg.*;class
Bbegin
beginMain
var
A a1 =new
A(123); a1.meth1(); // prints out "meth1:123"var
A a2 =new
A(456); a2.meth2(); // prints out "meth2:456" A.func(); // prints out "func:666"endMain
end
