Suggestions for Name Generator

[Cheesy]

I'm learning C++ ATM, it's a tricky language.

It is a curious phenomenon - VB represents the creation of something that sucks so hard that the original designers would surely be too embarrassed to release it under any but the most extraordinary circumstances. I can only guess at the evil motives behind VBs release and continuing development.

How so?

I know VBScript sucks but you can make pretty cool sh*t in VB.

How so?

It is incredibly ugly and verbose, with a very limited feature set and also has some truly bizarre design flaws (Sub/Function distinction, lolwut).

You owe it to yourself to start using something different.

Being able to make cool stuff with something doesn't mean that said thing doesn't suck.

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello, world!";
}

You don't even need std::. Also, you should have 'using namespace std;' at the top, so it looks like this:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
[INDENT]cout<<"Hello, world!";[/INDENT]
}

Anyway, back to the topic: I still need more ideas for my name generator.

You don't even need std::

Well, you don't if you declare the namespace at the top. Otherwise you have to add which namespace you're using an object from. You can declare your own namespaces, and declare the usage of namespaces inside functions and code blocks.

#include <iostream>

namespace a
{
  int i = 1;
}

namespace b
{
  int i = 2;
}

int main () {
  using namespace a;
  
  {
  using namespace std;
  cout << i << endl;
  }
  std::cout << b::i << endl;
}

Will result in:

1
2

IMO "using namespace std;" is bad practice. It is explained well here.

Alternative:

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;

int main() {
  cout << "Hello, world!";
  return 0;
}

Anyway, why don't we get back on-topic?

P.S. I added an orc name-generator.
