5.2.10 importfrom

Syntax:

importfrom( package_name , name );
importfrom( package_name , list_of_names );

Purpose:

creates a new identifier in the current package which is a copy of the one specified by name in the package package_name. package_name can be Top or any other identifier of type package.

Note:

Objects defined in a ring are not automatically imported when importing the ring.

Warning:

The identifier is copied to the current package. It does still exist (independently) in the package package_name. If the identifier should be erased in the package from which it originates, exportto should be used instead.

Example:
