Omitting Namespace


Omitting Namespace

You might see some C++ programs that run without the standard namespace library. The using namespace std line can be omitted and replaced with the std keyword, followed by the :: operator for string (and cout) objects:

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
// using namespace
std; - Remove this line

int main() {

std::string greeting = "Hello";
  std::cout
<< greeting;
  return 0;
}

Note: It is up to you if you want to include the standard namespace library or not. In our tutorial, we will continue to include the library.
