why use c++ Typedef?
<p>My understanding of typedef is to give a declaration an alias.
Such the declaration for int will now be referred to as Integer. But why? Why would someone use typedef? What's the more advantageous reason? </p>

<pre><code>typedef int Integer;

Integer blamo = 50;

cout &lt;&lt; blamo &lt;&lt; endl;
</code></pre>
