What keyword is used to create a name alias for a data type?

namespace
typedef
alias
struct

The correct answer is: typedef

The keyword used to create an alias for a data type is "typedef". This allows for the creation of alternative names for existing data types. The other options, "namespace", "alias", and "struct" do not serve this specific purpose in creating a name alias for a data type. "Namespace" is used for organizing code, "alias" is a potential answer because it is similar to "typedef", but it is not a valid keyword in this context. "Struct" creates a new user-defined data type, rather than an alias for an existing one.
