Difference between loading and importing

I think, but I'm not sure, all what load "file" command simply does is reading "file" and execute all commands in there, one-by-one, as if typed by you.

So it is totally unrelated to Java, it is just useful "REPL" command that read all lines in "file", that's it.

All the rest you have to write yourself.

So separate java command:

import com.teamtreehouse.Treet

From REPL command that just reads all lines in file provided and execute them:

:load com/teamtreehouse/Treet.java

What I can say more, you can:

• create text file "text.txt"
• write there System.out.println("here")
• and then type :load text.txt

The result of the command will be success: REPL will just execute whatever was in that file, so he'll execute and write "here" in console. Try that out if you want.

In languages like Bash ,e.g. that you don't need to compile like Java, there is very much alike command called source, that does exactly the same, reads whatever is in file and executes it
