What is scope resolution operator?

The scope resolution operator helps to identify and specify the context to which an identifier refers, particularly by specifying a namespace. The specific uses vary across different programming languages with the notions of scoping.
 
Scope resolution operator is used to qualify hidden names so that you can still use them. You can use the unary scope operator if a namespace scope or global scope name is hidden by an explicit declaration of the same name in a block or class.

n computer programming, scope is an enclosing context where values and expressions are associated. The scope resolution operator helps to identify and specify the context to which an identifier refers, particularly by specifying a namespace. The specific uses vary across different programming languages with the notions of scoping. In many languages the scope resolution operator is written "::".

In some languages, notably those influenced by Modula-3, including Python and Go, modules are objects, and scope resolution within modules is a special case of usual object member access, so the usual method operator . is used for scope resolution. Other languages, notably C++ and Ruby, feature both scope resolution and method access, which interact in various ways

The :: (scope resolution) operator is used to qualify hidden names so that you can still use them. You can use the unary scope operator if a namespace scope or global scope name is hidden by an explicit declaration of the same name in a block or class.
 
The :: (scope resolution) operator is used for following things:
Access a global variable when there is a local variable with the same name.
Define a function outside a class.
Access a class’s static variables.
In a case of multiple Inheritance.

Scope resolution operator:):) is used to define a function outside a class or when we want to use a global variable but also has a local variable with same name.
C++ programming code
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

char c = 'a'; // global variable

int main() {
char c = 'b'; //local variable

cout << "Local variable: " << c << "\n";
cout << "Global variable: " << ::c << "\n"; //using scope resolution operator

return 0;
