Hi,
Can u pls elaborate on further that why are we passing object as reference in copy constructor.
And 2nd question is if it’s passed by reference so can we pass the object as pointer why and why not ?
Passing by reference in copy constructor
hi @kartikey.rajput0071,
Because if it’s not by reference, it’s by value. To do that you make a copy, and to do that you call the copy constructor. But to do that, we need to make a new value, so we call the copy constructor, and so on…
(You would have infinite recursion because “to make a copy, you need to make a copy”.)
