Hi
I have written a small c++ program that uses Dynamic memory allocation to store strings. I have to create a copy constructor so it does proper copying, but I can't fully understand copy constructors, I tried searching for good tutorials but they did not help much, Let me know if you know anything good that I can read to help me understand it. Any help is appreciated.
Thank You
What is it that you fail to understand?
A copy constructor is a constructor that takes another instance of the same type as argument.
The compiler invokes the function whenever you make a copy of that particular class. Its job is to make that copy.
