namespace

[Michael]

Hi,

In my compiler, I do not have to use
using namespace std;

the following codes works. Why?

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
cout<<"C++";
return 0;
}

Because its broken.

Are you using an old version of gcc by any chance?

Why to quote the text? And what do you mean gcc? Thanks!

It's what we do on Usenet. But we don't quote signatures (removed above).

As you obviously aren't using gcc, whatever compiler you are using is
broken.

Because its broken.

The code works because it's broken? Interesting theory.

That is a common theory in this newsgroup. When someone asks, why his
code works, a common answer is:
"The code is broken and invokes undefined behaviour, so everything can
happen, and it just seems to work properly"

But in this case I meant: The compiler is wrong.

That doesn't mean the code works _because_ it's broken. If it weren't
broken, it would still work.

Ok then.
