What is a Static Import?

Question:

What is a Static Import?

Answer:

Static imports allow the static items of one class to be referenced in another without qualification.

Code:

import static java.lang.Math.PI;
import static java.lang.Integer.MAX_VALUE;
 
public class StaticImportStatements {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.out.println("PI: " + PI);
      System.out.println("Int max: " + MAX_VALUE);
   }
}

Output:

$ java StaticImportStatements
PI: 3.141592653589793
Int max: 2147483647
