Java Demo 5: Package and Import Keyword In Java

Package in Java:
Packages in java are used to organize related or similar classes, interface, and enumerations into one group. for example, java.sql package has all classes needed for database operation. Packages are also used to avoid naming conflict between the classes. Using package, you can give same name to different classes.
