syntax question

is there any similiarities between

Code:

---

std::cout

---

and

Code:

---

int Car::GetYear()

---

since Car is a class, is std a predefined class too?

another question.

if Car is a class and GetYear is a accessor function why do we use the :: ?

std is a namespace. They're like libraries or packages in java. Its a group of classes, data, functions, and definitions.

The :: is the scope resolution operator. You need to use it to tell the compiler that the thing on the right belongs in the thing on the left.

ah cool :)
