Assuming you don't have using namespace std;, you need std:: for things like std::cout, but for some things like std::time(), the std:: can be omitted and it won't cause any errors. What's going on?

C standard library functions are in the global namespace
it's not the same code as the std:: variants tho

So is it better practice to use the std:: variants?
