How to extract methods and method parameters

Extracting methods and method parameters can add additional imports to your code. This happens because when you extract a method or a parameter, the code that used to be inside the method or parameter is moved to a separate method. If this code relies on other classes or methods that are not already imported into your code, the extraction process may automatically add the necessary import statements to your file.

For example, suppose you have a Kotlin class that contains a method that performs some calculations and returns a result. This method relies on a helper class defined in another package, and you still need to import this class into your code. If you decide to extract the method to a particular method in the same or a different class, the extraction process may add an import statement for the helper class so that the code inside the extracted method can reference the helper class.

Similarly, when you extract a method parameter...
