These errors indicate that the code does not namespace qualify
    standard library components correctly. Example:

    int main()
    {
        cout << "Hello world" << endl;
    }

    must become:

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

    or:

    using std::cout;
    using std::endl;
    int main()
    {
        cout << "Hello world" << endl;
    }

    or:

    using namespace std;
    int main()
    {
        cout << "Hello world" << endl;
    }
