8.12 static Import

In Section 6.3, you learned about the static fields and methods of class Math. We access class Math’s static fields and methods by preceding each with the class name Math and a dot (.). A static import declaration enables you to import the static members of a class or interface so you can access them via their unqualified names in your class—that is, the class name and a dot (.) are not required when using an imported static member.
