Lecture

Constructors and Destructors: Initialization and Copy

Description

This lecture covers the management of instance initialization through constructors and the importance of copy constructors and destructors in C++. It explains the need for constructors, good practices, overloading, and the role of default constructors. It also delves into the concept of copy constructors, their default implementation, and limitations in dynamic allocation scenarios. Additionally, it discusses the role of destructors, their necessity in managing shared resources or dynamic allocation, and the risk of memory leaks. The lecture emphasizes the importance of domain validation in constructors and manipulators to avoid code duplication and ensure efficient code reuse.
