So if foo/1 is imported from module bar, -import(bar,[foo/1])., then foo(...) and bar:foo(...) are exactly equivalent, the compiler does the conversion internally. It saves you some writing. Many people frown on importing and say you shouldn't do it as it obscures what you are actually doing, I only use for importing functions from some common modules like lists.

So for code change does this mean the new version of an imported module is
called?

Thanks,
