Ok... It seems that this is (almost) the last concept of OOP that I haven''t learnt yet. It seems they are useful, but still I haven''t found them in the many books I used (they only refer to them, but doesn''t explain them). So here are my questions: What are namespace? How to implement them? Sources, examples, etc. What are the plus and minus of Namespace? What do they do exactly? How can they help in a program? In a game? In an analysis of a program or a game? Thanks in advance. Programming is: A.The art of debugging a blank sheet of paper (or an empty file).B.A pastime similar to banging one's head against a wall, but with fewer opportunities for reward.C.The most fun you can have with your clothes on (although clothes are not mandatory).

I''m not 100% sure, but I think namespace is used to make a block code private like in a class. This way, you can use the same name in global space without name-clashes. Afterwards you can refer to any of them via namespace:: orso...?

mmmmh...
thanks Baskuenen.

Hey! We are often "discussing"[1] together

I don''t think your explanations were enough, but at least you answered something, not like the others who knows. I think I will make a search on it.

That is my take on it as well. I think you can be 100% sure now

Namespaces separate functions, variables (I think classes) from the global namespace (the place where all global variable names are).

You can do something like this:

    namespace MyNamespace{  int NamespaceVariable;}// you can access it like this, just like a static function in a classMyNamespace::NamespaceVariable = 0;// or you can do this, to bring it into the global namespace (basically undoes the namespace)using namespace MyNamespace;NamespaceVariable = 0;

It doesn''t affect memory in speed, then. Just accessing different variables. I mean, in assembly it will be the same, just different addresses, is that it?

Thanks. Now I really know what it is Thanks Baskuenen, you were nearer than I thought...
