Abstract
Namespaces provide a way to group related top-level members into a hierarchy. They are also used to avoid naming conflicts. A top-level member, such as a class, that is not included in a namespace is said to belong to the default namespace. It can be moved to another namespace by being enclosed in a namespace block. The naming convention for namespaces is the same as for classes, with each word initially capitalized.
namespace MyNamespace { class MyClass {} }
