In my work I have come across syntax like global:: (C#) or G:Loading($value) in Php, what do they mean?
In C#
::is the namespace alias qualifier operator, andglobalindicates the global namespace. It is necessary if you have overlapping classes and namespaces.For example, if you have class
Foo.BarandBaz.Foo.Barthen the referenceFoo.Barmay be an ambiguous reference asFoo.Barexists in both the global namespace and theBaznamespace. However, by sayingglobal::Foo.Baryou explicitly scope the reference to the global namespace and thus it is no longer ambiguous.More info here.
