What are Namespaces?
Namespaces are a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming. They provide a way to group related code and ensure that different parts of your application work together correctly. They reduce coupling between components and improve maintainability.
They allow you to define a namespace for a particular object, and any code that refers to that object will be within that namespace.
Key Concepts
- Namespace: A logical grouping of related code.
- Class: A blueprint for creating objects.
- Object: An instance of a class.
- Dependency: A relationship between two objects.
Benefits
- Reduced Coupling: Components are less dependent on each other.
- Improved Maintainability: Changes in one component are less likely to affect others.
- Increased Reusability: Namespace code can be reused in different projects.
- Maintainability: Namespace code is easily modified and tested.
Example - TypeScript
In TypeScript, you can create a namespace for `MyClass`.
```typescript namespace MyNamespace { class MyClass { // ... your class code ... } } ```
