undertstanding code syntax
Hello Esenthel Community
I would like to know some syntax that I don't know in C++
like

::Client& client(Int i) {return (::Client&)clients.lockedData(i);}

what those :: does in here ?

one more example is like that too

.Client& client(Int i) {return (.Client&)clients.lockedData(i);}

what this dot is doing in here

I would like somebody to clarify this for me

Thank you smile

Just accessing global namespace(Although I can't see any need to use them in this case) from what I can see, like doing Game.Chr or the likes. I am assuming this question is in regards to an EE example project, visual studio vs code editor?

Yes, that means accessing a symbol starting from global namespace (and not current space).
For this tutorial, if you middle mouse click on the symbol, then you will notice that it relocates you to a different Client class (there are 2 Client classes in this tutorial), possibly something like that:
.EE.ConnectionServer.Client
.Client
