Advanced Heterogeneous Collections in C++

This lecture covers advanced concepts in object-oriented programming in C++, focusing on heterogeneous collections and polymorphic behavior using pointers. It explains the importance of deep copy and destructor for proper memory management, emphasizing the responsibility of memory deallocation. Examples illustrate the use of pointers in creating collections with polymorphic elements and the potential pitfalls associated with them. The lecture also discusses the sharing of data in programs, using a graphic modeling example to explore the concept of personal versus shared data within collections. The instructor provides insights into ensuring data uniqueness and personalization within collections, highlighting the use of unique_ptr for guaranteeing uniqueness.
