Suppose we have two libraries lib1 and lib2. let there is a function add() present in both of them, this function can have different meaning or functionality in both libraries but they have same name, so it will be conflicting for compiler which function to call? so namespaces are the ways to remove this conflict. for example

Code
span style="font-style: italic;">//it will call add() which belongs to group lib1


lib2::add();//it will call add() which belongs to group lib2


}

We cannot have two variables with the same name in the same scope. To resolve this namespace is introduced.
Namespace is a declarative region that provides a scope to the identifiers inside it. Accessing of these variables can be done using the namespace name::variable name. These namespace declerations appear at global scope.
