A namespace is a set of named symbols, usually variables.
Description
Names or identifiers are keys allowing access to symbol values.
Namespaces provide a level of direction to specific identifiers, thus making it possible to distinguish between identical identifiers.
This is similar to people names, where a surname could be thought of as a namespace that makes it possible to distinguish people who have the same given name.
Computer programming
In computer programming, namespaces are typically employed for the purpose of grouping symbols and identifiers around a particular behavior.
