Imports
Using Libraries

Import statements allow you to import libraries of code. These libraries make available subprograms that do very useful things, such as opening a web browser:
    import web

    openWebBrowser("www.google.com")
There's also the import into statement. This allows you to import a library's variables and subprograms into an object.
    import math into m

    print m              //Prints the object m, so you can see all variables and subprograms inside it.
    print m.sin(m.pi)    //The sine of pi, which is 0 (Mint prints an approximation to 0).
You can also import other Mint files using the import statement. For example, pretend that we put the complex number subprogram from the Objects lesson into a file called "complex.mint". You could then import the subprogram by doing:
    import "complex.mint"
Here's a list of all built-in libraries that you can import:
    operator
    math
    type
    time
    system
    file
    web
    mint
    graphics
    thread
    random
    compress
    programming
    data.mint
For the last one, use `import "data.mint"`. Navigation Previous Lesson: Memory Management Next Lesson: Operator Overloading Table of Contents
