Ayo kevin, good work once again. I wanna ask you, are you planning doing a "big" project where you include all the stuff we have been learning along the way and document it from finish to end? For example a simple game, c++ interfaces, or smth like that

[@PortfolioCourses]

Hopefully one day, yes. :-)

When would you ever use a namespace, let's say, over a class or a struct? What are the actual benefits to using a namespace in general?

[@PortfolioCourses]

The benefit is to prevent name conflicts, that’s why we use them.

[@dead_protagonist]

@@PortfolioCourses yeah but can't you avoid name conflicts by using classes?? edit: I may be wrong but from what I understand, you would typically use a namespace to organize functions, variables, or classes that don't need to be associated with objects. You would put a class into a namespace to avoid naming conflicts between classes, so if a class has the same name as another class, you wouldn't have any problems if they were within their own namespace.

[@PortfolioCourses]

@@dead_protagonist You can avoid name conflicts by using classes, except for the class names themselves where you can still have name conflicts.

[@dead_protagonist]

@@PortfolioCourses ty!! that cleared up my confusion :)
