code for reuse. Modules are defined using a variety of [`import`][] and
[`export`][] statements.

The following example of an ES module exports a function:

```js
// addTwo.js
'use strict';
function addTwo (num) {
return num + 2;
}

export { addTwo };
```

The following example of an ES module imports the function from `addTwo.js`:

```js
// app.js
'use strict';
import { addTwo } from './addTwo.js';

// Prints: 6
console.log(addTwo(4));
```

Node.js fully supports ECMAScript modules as they are currently specified and
provides limited interoperability between them and the existing module format,
[CommonJS][].
