Order of the import and package statements

So Dennis said that the order of the import and the package statements matter.

I too noticed that when I had my import statement before the package statement on the treet class, I got an error.

So can somebody please explain how import and package statements have to be ordered in java?

Hey again Aditya,

The order is:

package com.yourpackage.name;

import com.importthis.package;
import com.alsoimportthis.package;

// The rest of your code

Note that the import statements themselves do not have to be in any sort of order.

Hope it helps and if you have any more questions, give me a shout :)
