What should be the correct answer to this quiz question. I thought that Illustrator should be the answer but it is not as it shows a bummer when I put any of the four choices among Adobe, Illustrator, Canvas, Paint in the blank space and submit answer.

In this case, Paint is the method, Canvas is the class, and Adobe.Illustrator is the namespace.

Foo.Bar.Baz.Boo()
The name with the parenthesis always is the method, and the method must be associated with a class. Both methods and classes names can contain only one word, so Boo is the method and Baz is the class, the rest must be the Namespace because Namespaces can be formed with several words separated by dots.

9,299 PointsThanks for helping Seth, can u just help me in clarifying one thing, since Adobe is the name of an organisation so is it safe to assume that organisation name is included in the namespace name?. I mean here the namespace is Adobe.Illustrator and not Illustrator.

32,867 PointsYes. If you look at the second example here, Adobe.Illustrator is the correct way to define a namespace. You could then have Adobe.Photoshop, Adobe.Acrobat etc. as namespaces.
