Hi Danny,
The idea of the import statement is to specify which class namespaces you
want to use. For example, there could be multiple packages that contain a
class named "Danny":

Hi Danny,
An import statement is just a compiler-friendly shortcut. It has no
effect whatsoever on the final code.
Saying:
