Let me google it for you and found first link (may be a famous interview question)

Yes the imports are checked for the semantic validity at compile time. The code containing above line of import will not compile. It will throw an error saying,can not resolve symbol

symbol : class ABCD
location: package io
import java.io.ABCD;

C: Is constant variable initialized at the compile time?

I assume that constant must be initialized to a constant value at compile time, but following code the return value of ge_const() is assigned to x which will be collected at run time. So this must cause an error but I am getting the output as 50. Can someone clarify the detail?

main()
{
    const int x = get_const();
    printf("%d", x);
}
int get_const()
{
    return 50;
}
