[Dev-C++] namespace std?

[Chris B. <ch...@cb...>]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question that has been bugging me!

I if compile the program:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
 cout << "Hello World!\n";
 return 0;
}

It works perfectly! But surely it should fail because I have used the =
new style header files that are placed in namespace std. Being as I have =
not added 'using namespace std;' to my program - why does it work?! I =
though you had to qualify each function with std::

Im sure there is a good reason for this - Im just interested!
