Master C++ Pointers And Smart Pointers

pointers, shared_ptr, unique_ptr and weak_ptr in C++

What you'll learn
Understand Pointers and Smart Pointers in C++, manage Object Resources Effectively and avoid memory leaks due to usage of raw pointers.
Requirements
Basic Knowledge of C++ programming, C++ Objects, Functions and Templates.
Description
Pointers are one of the most fundamental and powerful concepts in C and C++ programming. This course starts with C/C++ pointers and in second part of the course it covers Smart pointers concepts. Smart pointers in C++ are template classes that ensure memory and other resources are managed efficiently. Smart pointers are a key component of C++ resource management and a valuable skill for any developer. In this course, Abhishek Kumar explains different types of Smart Pointers and how to use those. You can choose the right smart pointer for your programming needs.
