You know, I use a compiler that supports namespaces. I use CodeWarrior Pro 5,
from MetroWerks. And we just put, near the top of the program, and usually
after the #include directives:

using namespace std;

and I do not have to put things like

std::cout << "some statement\n";

I just put 

cout << "some statement\n";

It was explained to me, that by putting the statement

using namespace std;

in the program, I avoid the need to have to put the scope on each of these
elements? (I know this is very far off topic now, for this group...)

Here are further references on namespaces:
