Packages

Java allows packaging up classes into namespaces These namespaces can be archived into a .jar file Packages can be imported into code and its functionality is absorbed A massive collection of packages forms the class framework that Java is built on

Core Class Concept

All classes in Java inherit from the same parent class

Similar to the NSObject concept in Objective-C

Classes inherit from the Object class which comes from the java.lang package You will see the descriptor Super Class in Java a lot

What is a Super Class?

A class where many other classes derive

How do you use a package?

Much like we would include an external code file in C/C++, in Java we will import an external package

import java.io.*; class HeyBuddy { public static void main (String[] args) { try { FileWriter fOut = new FileWriter("HeyBuddy.txt"); BufferedWriter buffOut = new BufferedWriter(fOut); buffOut.write("Hey Buddy!\n"); buffOut.close(); } catch (IOException ex) { System.err.println("An exception occured: " + ex.toString()); } } }
