RE: [Dev-C++] namespace std?

If you want your programs to be portable, you should use std::cout<<"Hello
World!\n";

  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!
