Include Vs Import

There are two terms IMPORT and INCLUDE , In C and C++ Programs , Include Statement is used #include directive makes the compiler go to the C/C++ standard library It copy the code from the header files into the program. The whole include file code will copy into the program As a result, the program size increases wasting memory and processor’s time. In Java Programs , Import Statement is used import statement makes the JVM(Java Virtual Machine) go to the Java standard library, execute the code there , and substitute the result into the program. Hence, no code is copied hence no waste of memory and processor’s time. Hence import is more efficient mechanism than #include. By - Somesh Sah
