    Two newbie C++ related questions

    Hey guys, I have two questions. When we are not using 'using namespace std;' in front of what extactly we have to put std::?
    Second question, when we are using Switch and not if, else if, else.. how we can compare if variable is less or bigger then some number?
    For example here is how we do it with if.. if(x > 10) { std::cout << "this rocks" << std::endl;}

    thanks guys

    anything which is defined in the std namespace (eg containers, streams, algorithms etc etc) - see http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/

    when we are using Switch and not if, else if, else.. how we can compare if variable is less or bigger then some number
    you don't. For switch you have to test on equality (or default for a value that doesn't match any previous case). See http://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial...ch-statements/
    All advice is offered in good faith only. All my code is tested (unless stated explicitly otherwise) with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio (using the supported features of the latest standard) and is offered as examples only - not as production quality.
