That's the new, officially standardized way.  But to work around your
naming conflicts regarding the variable "count", it might be better to
avoid "using namespace std;" and instead salt your code with explicit
"std::" prefixes where necessary.

That's the older way.  As of version 3.0 and later, GCC will complain
about this, warning you about "deprecated usage".

No, because I don't actively do C++ myself, but if I did, I'd be using
"the real thing", i.e. Stroustrup.
