    global scope operator, as in ::foo

    I presumed that was implied when i mentioned the namespace scope resolution operator (it's the same operator) :)

        List the distinct uses for a colon in C++. Motivated by currently writing a function that had better take all of them into account! :-D

          static member access, constructor initialization list. Base class list, namespace access, ternary operator, case signifier terminator. I feel like there are more but I'm sleepy. edit: other commenters pointed out labels and bitfields Don't forget to escape strings and chars!

              is that a C++20 thing?

                Nah, looks like C++11. e.g. for (auto it : vector) Range-based for loop (since C++11) - cppreference.com[^]

                    Some of those are double colons. Are we counting them as well?

                      i did, because of the way the original question was worded.

                        Hi. I would like to help with the answer to your question. First, one colon is used to indicate the base class when inheriting from classes. Second, a single colon is used to specify the initialization list for the constructor. The two colons are the scoping operator.
                        Used to access the elements of the namespace. But in this matter, the editors of this site are more competent. Read more here: [url=https://sirinsoftware.com/services/iot-development/\]https://sirinsoftware.com/services/iot-development/\[/url\]
