Where can I find a list of the Java Standard libraries?
java
Solution
Yes. That is the library that Java's creators have provided.
here is a list of things to know:
- `java.lang` is for all the basic classes that are actually imported automatically (implicitly) because it is all the basic ones (String, Integer, Double, etc)
- `java.util` contains all your data structures you learned in school and more. Read the documentation, and the more you know and practice, the better
- `java.io` for file reading. Look into java.util.Scanner for simple file reading, but for any more complicated, low level file reading info, use `java.io`, its built for efficiency, while Scanner is for simplicity
- `java.math` if you ever need to use arbitrary precision values (built-in in python, not in java)
- `java.net` for sockets, connections, etc
- `javax.swing` for GUI, which is an extension of the older `java.awt`
Hope that helps.
