This lecture introduces the concept of deep copy in C++ programming, focusing on constructors, copy constructors, and destructors. It explains the importance of deep copying when dealing with pointers in classes, using examples to illustrate potential issues and solutions. The instructor emphasizes the need to redefine the copy constructor, operator=, and destructor when a class contains pointers.
