I've been waiting patiently for more coding videos in C++ and it looks like my patience is paying off because lookie here! A new C++ coding video🤗!! Thank You very much Saldina✌️!!

[@CodeBeauty]

Hahaha, I'm happy to hear that. Welcome back to another C++ lesson 🥰❤️

[@KashafZia-d7p]

These technical differences particularly how the memory is allocated and deallocated at the backend you taught through excel they are highly commendable. Dynamic allocation is the tough part for beginners but you explained really well the topic that is hard to find on youtube

[@snehadey883]

I am very excited for this video🥰I like your C++ programming tutorials, it helps me very much💝

[@CodeBeauty]

Happy to hear that! The video is out, hope you'll enjoy it 🥰

[@yawsokpor3061]

Hi Iike your teaching method, the way you explained the difference between copy constructor and assingment costructor is very interesting

[@MJavadZallaghi]

Very good tutorial! Thank you.

[@amirhosseinmoghimzadeh5887]

it was very good please publish more videos on OOP

[@ahmedkarrar25]

OMG!! You're AMAZING thank u! ❤

I Like The Way You Insist On Details I'd Like To See The Process Of Writing an object with A String Field In a Binary File : Save Method Good Continuation... ♥

Thanks, SN Shallow Copy and Deep Copy Rule of 3 (and the lesser known Law of the Big Two)

[@ProgrammerSolver]

Great teacher, thank you so much, you have an easy explanation way i understand all what you say, much love for you Saldina, i hope i have enough money to pay for your course

[@CodeBeauty]

You are so welcome, and I hope that you'll join us in the course. You'll learn how to build real apps and get experience so that you can start a successful career as a developer 😊🥰

[@ProgrammerSolver]

I hope that too, but one day I will join I'm sure @@CodeBeauty ❤❤

[@generalsub7]

Thank you so much!!

[@marquelamar]

Nice lesson! You look great today.

[@CodeBeauty]

Thanks 😃

Hi, Sabina, you should probably add "Orthodox Canonical Style" to the video title:) trust me, a lot of people will look for it as soon as it explained quite poor in KZbin

[@marcusantenor793]

Hi can you make a video in that serie that talks about move constructor?

[@nicholaskomsa1777]

It would make sense to also cover move constructor, move assignment operator, to be complete.

[@CodeBeauty]

I have a few more videos about constructors, destructor, copy c-tor on my channel. They should be in C++ OOP playlist, I hope they help to explain more stuff 😄😄👋

[@jimpapay2895]

Cool! Thank-you.

[@CodeBeauty]

You're welcome!

[@AparnaSinghPanwar]

copy constructor as movie class name is written before obj this means its a completely new obj being allocated memory

Thank you Saldina....vedio is graat and Your gorgeous.

[@CodeBeauty]

My pleasure 😊

[@muhmedgamal5841]

Gooooood😊

[@marcusantenor793]

26:53 you imagine that the array contains 2 variables so that the explanation could fit better. However, so far in the lecture/code, the counter is set to 0 and the array is empty.

[@سراجمصطفىمحمد]

I have a question when you delete the array of Pointers in the assignment operator and make a new srting dinamic array why the adress changes in Exel explanition althout u don't make Actors= nullptr?

[@muatzdaw8283]

I great video to a greater teacher 🤍

[@CodeBeauty]

Thank you! 😃

[@whitewolf4689]

This is some high level content with low level programming! yess I know C++ is a high level programming language ok

[@jhon3991]

@CodeBeauty The assigment operator returns a reference to the Movie other then an address of Movie. How do you think about that? See 13:25, for detail. If I am wrong, please let me know.

What is difference between constructors and structures

[@CodeBeauty]

They are related concepts, but they don't represent the sam thing. Watch my video about structures, and you'll learn what structures are with examples 😊

[@samialvi4226]

Are we going to build gui apps as well plsss!

[@danielkoziarski8488]

I do not understand why initializer list has been omitted for the demonstrated constructors. 😢

[@CodeBeauty]

I can not put everything in one video. It's already very long 😅😅

[@mauzaomin3872]

Why not deleting the newActor to free up the memory?

[@CodeBeauty]

newActor is just holding the address in memory, and in that memory, we have data that we need, so if we free that memory, we'll lose the data that we need

[@chrishabgood8900]

do you use either of these in your day job?

[@CodeBeauty]

You'll probably not create copy c-tors and assignment operators every day, but you'll definitely use them daily in your work, so if you for example get a bug and you don't understand this in depth, you'll have no idea how to fix the bug and make your code work

[@jackschitt7783]

I'm here for clickbait. Nice hat! They say comments help the "algorithym". Done. Redundantly. :)

Hahah, they do, thanks for the comment 😄 🥰

@@CodeBeauty I really don't know English, I'm answering you with google translate. This science of programming attracts me so much that I want to practice it and learn it perfectly. But I don't know, this also prevents me from learning after you. 😥

[@kitcat2449]

​@@artstechnology7809Try to see if chatGPT can help you as well. It can explain code blocks line by line and translates quite well to other languages!

[@nicholaskomsa1777]

While an assignment-copy is a "Deep Copy", moving is a "Shallow Copy". Shallow copy steals pointers rather than duplicate their contents. here you go: struct Movie { std::string title; int year; Movie() { std::cout
