Constructors and Destructors: Initialization and Memory Management

This lecture covers the importance of constructors, copy constructors, and destructors in managing the initialization of instances and memory allocation in C++. It explains when to use a copy constructor and the significance of proper memory management to avoid memory leaks. The lecture also emphasizes good practices for constructors, the limitations of shallow copying in dynamic memory allocation, and the necessity of writing a destructor for shared resources. It concludes with a rule to remember when modifying constructors, destructors, and assignment operators.
