Using Namespace Std, Then Proceeds To Spell Out Std Anyway

Using Namespace Std, Then Proceeds To Spell Out Std Anyway

You know that friend who says "I'm totally over my ex" and then brings them up in every conversation? That's this code with using namespace std;

Line 11 boldly declares using namespace std; which is supposed to let you drop the std:: prefix and just write string instead of std::string. But then lines 14, 15, 21, 28, and 35 are all like "nah, I'm gonna fully qualify everything anyway with std::."

It's the programming equivalent of installing a dishwasher and then hand-washing all your dishes. The developer either copy-pasted code from different sources without harmonizing the style, or they're having an identity crisis about whether they trust their own namespace declaration. Pick a lane, my friend—either embrace the namespace or don't, but this half-committed relationship status is giving everyone trust issues.
