using UnityEngine

In Unity’s C# scripting, the line using UnityEngine; is an import statement that allows you to access the classes, structures, and functions provided by the UnityEngine namespace.

The UnityEngine namespace is a collection of classes and other elements that Unity provides to interact with the game engine, handle game objects, implement physics, control input, manage scenes, and perform various other tasks related to game development.

By including using UnityEngine; at the beginning of your C# script, you are telling the compiler that you want to use the classes and functionalities from the UnityEngine namespace without explicitly specifying the full namespace each time you reference them.

For example, instead of writing UnityEngine.Vector3 position = new UnityEngine.Vector3(0, 0, 0);, you can simply write Vector3 position = new Vector3(0, 0, 0); after importing the UnityEngine namespace with using UnityEngine;.

Using the using statement helps to make your code more concise and readable by reducing the need for fully qualified type names. It’s a common practice to include using UnityEngine; at the beginning of your Unity C# scripts to have easy access to Unity’s API and simplify your code when working with Unity-specific functionalities.
