Library Classes are to be included in java program using a package.
Package:-Packages are collection of classes or subclasses. We have different packages defined to import or include the classes required in the Java program.
The different packages are:
1. io package:- It includes all the classes related to input/output.
2. lang package:- It include all the statements and functions common to all program.For eg we have,System.out.println ,main function etc used in all the program.Also lang package is the default package which is by default imported in all the java program.But we can also include this package explicitly.
3. util package:- It includes all the utility classes.For eg like date and time.
