To get direct access to variables and methods defined in the standard libraries that come in C++... cout and cin are a good example of this...if you don't declare "using namespace std" at the begining of your code then you will have to use std::cout and std::cin each time you want to use them. You can also create you own namespaces when needed.... Hope it helped
