namespace

-----------------------------------

ok, honest to God, what the heck is a namespace? i see this just about everywhere i go, right under the includes and i just don't get why it's used. something to do with preventing naming conflicts in C++ apparently. but when would you get a naming conflict? and what would happen if you did get one? is the namespace part of the program always necessary?
