My First Blog Post

Published on: 2022-07-01

Welcome to my new blog about learning Astro! Here, I will share my learning journey as I build a new website.

What I’ve accomplished

Installing Astro: First, I created a new Astro project and set up my online accounts.
Making Pages: I then learned how to make pages by creating new.astrofiles and placing them in thesrc/pages/folder.
Making Blog Posts: This is my first blog post! I now have Astro pages and Markdown posts!

What’s next

I will finish the Astro tutorial, and then keep adding more posts. Watch this space for more to come.

user_list = [56, 73, 12, 6876, 1257, 120, 1223]
user_list.append(609345)
print(f"The list after adding elements is: {user_list}")
user_list.remove(73)
print(f"The list after removing an element is: {user_list}")

if a >= 2 or a == 1:
  print('I am just testing this code')

In my project I have a shapes package which has shapes I designed for my graphics program, e.g., Rectangle and Circle. I also have one or two more packages that have the same names as java.awt classes.

Now, since I do not want to rename every class in my codebase, to show my source files which class I mean when I, say, declare a new Rectangle, I need to either:

1- import the rectangle class explicitly, i.e., import shapes.Rectangle

or

2- import only the java.awt classes I need and not import java.awt.* which automatically includes the awt.Rectangle

Now the problem is that both ways result in a lot of importing. I currently have an average of 15-25 imports in each source file, which is seriously making my code mixed-up and confusing.

Is too many imports in your code a bad thing? Is there a way around this?
