## Understand the Differences Between import and require

<!-- The article goes here, in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Feel free to add YouTube videos, images, and CodePen/JSBin embeds  -->
Let's clarify: `require()` loads the entire file and its components (functions, variables), while `import _ from` allows you to hand-pick what components you want. 

In this lesson, you are tasked at importing the function `capitalizeStrings()`, which comes from the file `"string-functions"`.

## Hint 1:

Fill in the blanks: `import { function_name } from "file_name"`. Your function name is `capitalizeStrings`, and your file name is `"string-functions"`.

## Spoiler Alert - Solution Ahead!

## Solution

```javascript
"use strict";
import { capitalizeString } from "string-functions";
capitalizeString("hello!");
```
