Namespace
// A program to demonstrate need of namespace
int main()
{
int value;
value = 0;
double value; // Error here
value = 0.0;
}

Namespace 2
// Here we can see that more than one
variables
// are being used without reporting any error.
// That is because they are declared in the
// different namespaces and scopes.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// Variable created inside namespace
namespace first
{
int val = 500;
}
// Global variable
int val = 100;
int main()
{
// Local variable
int val = 200;
// These variables can be accessed from
// outside the namespace using the scope
// operator ::
cout << first::val << 'n';
return 0;
}

Namespace 3
// Creating namespaces
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
namespace ns1
{
int value() { return 5; }
}
namespace ns2
{
const double x = 100;
double value() { return 2*x; }
}
int main()
{
// Access value function within ns1
cout << ns1::value() << 'n';
// Access value function within ns2
cout << ns2::value() << 'n';
// Access variable x directly
cout << ns2::x << 'n';
return 0;
}

For loops
• for (initialization; condition; update) { // body of-loop }
•initialization - initializes variables and is executed only once
•condition - if true, the body of for loop is executed
if false, the for loop is terminated
•update - updates the value of initialized variables and again checks the
condition

Range based for loops c++11
// the initializer may be a braced-init-list
for (int n : {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5})
std::cout << n << ' ';
std::cout << 'n';
// Iterating over array
int a[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
for (int n : a)
std::cout << n << ' ';
std::cout << 'n';
// Just running a loop for every array
// element
for (int n : a)
std::cout << "In loop" << ' ';

Stack
• Stack contains local variables from functions and
related book-keeping data. LIFO structure.
▫ Function variables are pushed onto stack when
called.
▫ Functions variables are popped off stack when
return.

Example: DrawSquare called from main()
void DrawSquare(int i){
int start, end, …. //other local variables
DrawLine(start, end);
}
void DrawLine(int start, int end){
//local variables

Reference
• A reference variable is an alias, that is, another name for an
already existing variable. Once a reference is initialized with a
variable, either the variable name or the reference name may
be used to refer to the variable.

Reference Vs Pointers
• References are often confused with pointers but three major
differences between references and pointers are −
• You cannot have NULL references. You must always be able to
assume that a reference is connected to a legitimate piece of
storage.
• Once a reference is initialized to an object, it cannot be changed
to refer to another object. Pointers can be pointed to another
object at any time.
• A reference must be initialized when it is created. Pointers can
be initialized at any time.

Pointers
• A variable that holds the address of another variable
