I need help

I have a code for an Arduino radar (Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04 and a servo to move the sensor) but the error message that pops up for me is " 'import' doesn't name a type" and highlights the third line.. Can someone help me pls?

Your first code looks like Java rather than C++

Where are you trying to compile it ?

Arduino IDE

If you want to get anywhere with this:

  1. Learn to ask question. EVERYBODY here writes because he needs help. Was is it that you require so people can guess from the subject if the can and want to help. Why are there two pieces of code for one error message?

  2. Read a totorial on at least the basic syntax of C++ so you at least notice when you are c&p'ing a completely different language.

  3. Look at the Arduino examples to get a feel for how Arduino code works..

No_Name:
Arduino IDE

Why ?

It is plainly not code for the Arduino as it is not written in C++ and I see explicit references to Java in it. It seems more likely that it is code for Processing and that runs on the PC

You should follow a tutorial, like this one:
