Parsing error: the keyword ‘import’ is reserved

A parsing error occurs when the syntax of a programming language is not followed correctly. In the case of the error message “the keyword ‘import’ is reserved”, it means that the keyword “import” is being used incorrectly.

In many programming languages, including HTML, the “import” keyword is reserved for specific purposes and cannot be used in any other context. It is often used to bring in external code libraries or modules.

To avoid this parsing error, you should use the “import” keyword in the appropriate way according to the language’s syntax rules. Here are some examples to illustrate how the “import” keyword is commonly used:

• HTML: In HTML, the “import” keyword is not used. If you encounter the error in an HTML context, it might indicate that you are mistakenly using code from another programming language within your HTML file.
• JavaScript: In JavaScript, the “import” keyword is used to import functions, objects, or values from other JavaScript files or modules. Here’s an example: import { functionName } from './path/to/module.js';
• Python: In Python, the “import” keyword is used to import modules or packages. For instance: import math or from datetime import datetime
• Java: In Java, the “import” keyword is used to import classes or packages. For example: import java.util.ArrayList;

To resolve the parsing error, make sure that you are using the “import” keyword as per the syntax rules of the programming language you are working with. Double-check for any typos, missing semicolons, or incorrect file paths. Additionally, ensure that the code you are importing is actually intended for use in the current programming language.
