10:14 Shouldn't it be just template without size_t? size_t is already specifized.

[@MikeShah]

I think that could also work -- give it a try ;)

Thanks mike.. I never thought how exactly" using "keyword works under the hood..this would be very good interview question... The interviewer might ask the uses of using keyword in using namespace std; ..

[@MikeShah]

Cheers! Agreed, I think knowing the multiple uses of 'using' is possibly something an interviewer could ask on a phone screen to test your C++ depth. For example, I've had interviewers ask on a pre-screen about multiple ways to 'cast' in C++.

Hi Mike, thank you for the explanation! I probably have seen the templated using statements before while skimming through cppreference, but I did not make the connection until now :)

Cheers, glad to hear it 😀

TIL that `using` to import symbols can be scoped to functions. Just like in D (or almost). That's 😊
