# Import

The import directive is used to import items from other Ola files. This can be useful to keep a single definition in one file, which can be used in multiple other files. For example, you could have an interface in one source file, which several contracts implement or use which are in other files.

In order to use the code from other files, we can import them into our program using the keyword `import` and `as`with the corresponding file name. Using `import` makes it easier for us to import some modular ibs, eliminating the need for repeated development. The basic syntax is as follow,`path-spec`can be absolute path(the full path of source file) or relative path (file path starts with`./` or `../`).

```solidity
import "path-spec"
```

e.g.:

```solidity
import "./math/u256.ola";
import "crypto/sha256.ola"
import "erc20.ola"
```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ola-foundation.gitbook.io/ola-lang/ola-language/import.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
