Namespaces are like folders on your computer. They allow us to have multiple classes with the same name in the
same project without causing a conflict, because we separate them by their scope. This is crucial when using
external libraries or when working on larger projects.
Conflict Prevention: You can use multiple classes with the same name as long as they are in
different namespaces.
Better Organization: We logically divide the code into modules (e.g., Database, Users,
Store).
Shorter Names (Alias): By using "use", we can shorten long path names into simple
aliases.

Key Rules to Follow:
Top of the File: A namespace must always be defined at the very beginning of the file.
Global Space: If you want to access built-in PHP functions or classes from within a
namespace, use a backslash (e.g., \Exception).
The use Keyword: Used to import a class so that we do not have to write the full path
every single time.
Simply put: namespaces ensure that your project remains clean and organized, even when it grows massive, and that
your classes do not "fight" each other due to identical names.
