How to disable "using namespace"

[Peng Yu]

For example, at the beginning of the C++ program,
I say "using namespace std;"

However, in the middle of the program, I want to disable "using
namespace std;".

Do you know how to do that?

Thanks!

There is no way. Don't say 'using namespace std;' in the first place.

I find it easier en more convenient to place std:: in front of what's in
this namespace.

cfr. std::cout << "easier" << std::endl;

The answer is: not.
You can't do it. That's the reason why you shouldn't write "using namespace
std;" in the first place.

As others have pointed out there is no way of undoing a using
statement... if you *must* do this modularize your program so that the
modules you do the using statement in actually need it and those that
don't need it don't get it. Another way is to reorganize a module and
put the dependencies on the standard name space at the end, so that the
first part of the file needn't have the using.

I think you've had enough people yell at you for doing it to begin with
tho :).

You can limit it to only where you want it, as in:
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
using namespace std;

cout << "Monkey!";

void SomeFunc();

SomeFunc();
}
void SomeFunc()
{
cout << "Monkey!";

//Compile error
}
