But I have never really understood what a
name-space is really refering too.
Could someone give me a small explination
(preferably in basic englis ;-)
A name-space is used to distinguish two similarly-named things. Consider the
domain name system (DNS) of the internet. The internet could have these
domains: "knell.com" and "knell.net".
The local name part of each domain is the same ("knell"), but the two domains
are distinguished by belonging to different name-spaces ("com" and "net").
Is this enough, or do you need more detail?
