@ -17,15 +17,33 @@ Solidity supports import statements that are very similar to those available in
At a global level, you can use import statements of the following form:
`import "filename";` will import all global symbols from "filename" (and symbols imported there) into the current global scope (different than in ES6 but backwards-compatible for Solidity).
::
`import * as symbolName from "filename";` creates a new global symbol `symbolName` whose members are all the global symbols from `"filename"`.
import "filename";
`import {symbol1 as alias, symbol2} from "filename";` creates new global symbols `alias` and `symbol2` which reference `symbol1` and `symbal2` from `"filename"`, respectively.

from `"filename"`, respectively.
Another syntax is not part of ES6, but probably convenient:
`import "filename" as symbolName;` is equivalent to `import * as symbolName from "filename";`.
::
import "filename" as symbolName;
...is equivalent to `import * as symbolName from "filename";`.
