How do you import functions from the Kotlin Standard Library?

Importing functions from the Kotlin Standard Library is a straightforward process that involves using the import statement to make the desired functions accessible within your Kotlin file or module.

To import functions from the Kotlin Standard Library, you simply include the import statement at the beginning of your Kotlin file, followed by the package name containing the functions you wish to use. For example:

kotlin

import kotlin.math.sqrt

fun main() {
    val number = 16
    val squareRoot = sqrt(number.toDouble())
    println("Square root of $number is $squareRoot")
}

In this example, the sqrt() function from the kotlin.math package is imported and used to calculate the square root of a number.

Kotlin also supports wildcard imports, allowing you to import all functions and symbols from a particular package:

kotlin

import kotlin.math.*

This statement imports all functions and symbols from the kotlin.math package, making them accessible within the current Kotlin file or module.

By leveraging the import statement, developers can easily access and utilize functions from the Kotlin Standard Library, enhancing productivity and code readability in Kotlin projects.
