Copy Constructor

#1

I don’t get it why we are using reference in overwritten copy constructor…
car( car &x){…}

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…

@rupesh-4819
It is necessary to pass object as reference and not by value because if you pass it by value its copy is constructed using the copy constructor . This means the copy constructor would call itself to make copy . This process will go on until the compiler runs out of memory.
