Build a simple Write a destructor that frees the memory. Write a copy constructor that performs a deep copy, allocating new memory for the copied string instead of sharing pointers.
Test by creating strings, copying them, and verifying each object has independent memory. Use a debugger or print statements to confirm destructors run correctly. Understanding this concept deeply will help you write better code.
Practice with examples until the pattern becomes automatic. Review earlier sections if anything is unclear. Building on solid foundations makes advanced topics easier.
