Question: 1 / 565

What problem do unnamed namespaces solve?

They prevent name clashes by providing internal linkage for names

They make it easier to use global variables safely

They provide a namespace without requiring a name

All of the above

This answer is incorrect because unnamed namespaces do not prevent name clashes or provide internal linkage for names. Those are functions of named namespaces. Unnamed namespaces do not make it easier to use global variables safely, as they do not provide any mechanism for accessing global variables. The purpose of unnamed namespaces is to provide a namespace without requiring a name, allowing for the encapsulation of code or data within a translation unit.
