Commonly Used Libraries

Java libraries are generally organized into packages, while Python uses modules for similar functionality. Java libraries often require explicit import statements, whereas Python’s built-in libraries are readily available, and external libraries can be imported as needed.

Let’s explore some common libraries in Java and their Python equivalents, focusing on commonly used functions and their use cases.

I/O operations

• Java: java.io provides classes for input/output operations, such as reading from files or writing to them.

• Python: Python’s built-in io module and other I/O-related modules handle similar tasks.

Let’s see how we can read a file in Java using the BufferedReader library:
