A namespace is an abstract container (or) environment created to hold a logical grouping of unique identifiers.
An identifier defined in a namespace is associated with that namespace,The same identifier can be independently defined in multiple namespaces.
That is, the meaning associated with an identifier defined in one namespace may or may not have the same meaning as the same identifier defined in another namespace.
Languages that support namespaces specify the rules that determine to which namespace an identifier belongs.
