The standard STL containers reside in a namespace 'std'.

No, but you need to let it know that it is the 'std::vector'
you want, not something else.

Three ways to do so: 
1. add 'using namespace std;' somewhere before the first use, or
2. add 'using std::vector;' or 
3. explicitly specify std scope, like so:

> #include <vector>
> int main(void){
> 
        std::vector<int> v;

Current consensus seems to be that (2) and (3) are preferred.
