If there were no namespaces then you could not mix different XML
vocabularies as you could not distinguish for instance the XHTML 'table'
elment from a 'table' element in another vocabulary. Using namespaces
the complete name of the XHTML 'table' element is
{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}table where the URL
'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' provides the globally unique context for
the local name 'table'. And any {http://example.com/foo}table is
different from that.

After some days' hard work I am now the proud possessor of an ANSI C BASIC interpreter. The question is, how is it most useful? At the moment I have a function int basic(const char *script, FILE *in, FILE *out, FILE *err); It returns 0 on success or -1 on fail.

Are basic types (int, long, ...) objetcs or not? I read that in C# all are objects including basic types, derived from Object class. Then in msdn documentation says that boxing converts basic types in objects. But if they are objects why it´s need this conversion? Aren´t objects (basic types) like Java?
