What does namespace mean in Java?
Can you give me an example of how namespaces are used in Java?
Sure! Let's say you have two classes named "Employee" in your code: one in the "com.company.hr" package and another in the "com.company.fin" package. Without namespaces, the compiler would have no way to tell which "Employee" class you intended to use. By placing each class in a separate namespace, you can refer to them using their fully qualified names, like "com.company.hr.Employee" and "com.company.fin.Employee".
