Statement cannot be resolved to a type

This error message usually occurs in Java programming when the compiler cannot find the definition of a class or interface that is being used in the code.

For example, if the code contains the statement:

Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();

and the compiler cannot find the definition of the "Statement" class, the error message "Statement cannot be resolved to a type" will be displayed.

To fix this error, you need to make sure that the necessary import statements are included at the beginning of the Java file. In the case of the "Statement" class, you should add the following import statement:

import java.sql.Statement;

This will allow the compiler to recognize the "Statement" class and resolve the error.
