The variable "namespace" is not a type name.

What should i do?

Did you actually declare a variable called namespace? Are you using a really old C++ compiler? Is it even a C++ compiler? Can you compile this program:namespace foo {} int main() {} ? Edit: Turns out you didn't use a C++ compiler but a C compiler as @Botje noticed :-) — Ted Lyngmo

Don't paste images of your code. Show text. Although in this instance it actually helped... — Botje

You are trying to compile C++ code as C code. You get an error because namespace is a C++ concept.

Rename your file to test.cpp.
