In Scala, we can import other files or modules using the import keyword. Here are some examples:

1. Importing a single object or class:

import com.example.MyClass

This imports the MyClass object from the com.example package.

2. Importing multiple objects/classes:

import com.example.{MyClass1, MyClass2}

This imports the MyClass1 and MyClass2 objects/classes from the com.example package.

3. Importing all objects/classes in a package:

import com.example._

This imports all objects/classes in the com.example package.

4. Importing an object/class using an alias:

import com.example.{MyClass => Alias}

This imports the MyClass object from the com.example package, but gives it an alias of Alias.

5. Importing an object/class and its members:

import com.example.MyClass._

This imports all members of the MyClass object from the com.example package.

6. Importing a package object:

import com.example.package._

This imports the package object for the com.example package. The package object is defined in a special file called package.scala.

Note: It's important to understand that importing files or modules can increase the size and complexity of your project, so it's best to only import what you need.
