Thread: cpying class objeects

is there some special way to copy class object to another object of the same class? or am i forced to do operator overloading for that one?

Either the compiler-generated assignment operator and copy constructor do the right thing (simple memberwise copy/assignment) or you'll need to implement those yourself.

And the way to know if you can use the compiler generated ones or not is to look at the constructor/destructor members: If there is any new/delete in either of those, you will (almost always) have to make your own assignment operator and copy constructor.

In fact, if there is a destructor, then you PROBABLY need a cop constructor and assignment operator.
