using namespace std::cout?

[codekiddy]

hi I'm having dificulties with this command:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std::cout
int main() {
//code
}

it does not compile,
I'm using VS2010, and would like to use only std::cout and not whole std namespace, I also have no willing in tiping std::cout for every outpu!

what's wrong?

using std::cout;

There's nothing wrong with using the 'whole std namespace' even if you don't use every command.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
      cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
      return 0;
}

is completely fine!
