```

### Where

- `object: Object`
  An object with functions to be imported.
- `options: Object` An object with import options. Available options:
  - `override: boolean`

  - `wrap: boolean`
    If true (default), the functions will be wrapped in a wrapper function

```js
// define new functions and variables

  }
});

// use the imported function and variable
math.myvalue * 2;               // 84
