How do different programming languages handle module loading?

Different programming languages have unique approaches to module loading. For example, in JavaScript, modules can be loaded using the import statement, while Python uses the import keyword as well. Do you want to know about a specific language?

Yes, can you explain how module loading works in Python?

In Python, modules are loaded using the import statement. You can import an entire module or specific functions from it. Python also supports relative imports within packages. Would you like to see an example?

Sure, can you provide a simple example of importing a module in Python?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example: If you have a file named mymodule.py with a function greet(), you can import it using import mymodule and then call mymodule.greet(). Alternatively, you can use from mymodule import greet to call greet() directly.

What about module loading in Java?

In Java, modules are loaded using the import statement as well, but it also has a module system introduced in Java 9, which allows for better encapsulation and dependency management.
