I am trying to import the package java.util.function but I keep getting the following error:
FP.java:2: error: cannot find symbol
import java.util.function;
^
symbol: class function
location: package java.util
I have verified that I am using jdk 1.8.0_11 (using javac -version).
That isn't how you import a package, this
import java.util.function;
should be
import java.util.function.*;
To import the classes in the java.util.function package.
try
import java.util.function.Function;
Function is a class under java.util.function package.
for importing all classes in package you have to use *
like
import x.y.*;
for importing only one class you should use class name like
import x.y.z;
for your case as function is a package so you should use
import java.util.function.*;
In case you are using Intellij, Go to Files > Settings > Build,Execution, Deployment > Compiiler > Java Compiler. In this, change the Target Bytecode version to 1.8.
I was also facing same issue while executing my project. As I had Java 15 on my machine , I changed targeted Bytecode version to 15 and it worked. Go to Files > Settings > Build,Execution, Deployment > Compiiler > Java Compiler. In this, change the Target Bytecode version to 15
