Structures and Namespaces | C++ For Java Devs Ep. 7

In this episode I go over structures and namespaces. Structures are basically the equivalent of a POJO (Plain Old Java Object) or a POCO (Plain Old CLR Object). They contain a few pieces of data, wrapped in a *structure*. This can be used to implement a sort of poor man's OOP, where you can create objects that contain more than just a single float or integer. Then we talk about namespaces, which can be used in conjunction with structures to create more complex pieces of code that are organized in a clean manner.
