What does the '::' symbol represent in the given context?

  1. A division operator

  2. The scope resolution operator

  3. A typo in the code

  4. A bitwise operator

The correct answer is: The scope resolution operator

In this case, the ':' symbol is being used as the scope resolution operator. This symbol allows access to variables and functions within a specific namespace or class. Option A is incorrect as the division operator is represented by the '/' symbol. Option C is incorrect as this would not be a viable answer for understanding the context of the code. Option D is also incorrect as the bitwise operator, '<<', is a different symbol that performs a different function. Therefore, the correct answer would be the scope resolution operator, as it allows for the identification of a particular namespace or class within the code.
