Complete Modern C++ - Raw Pointers

The video tutorial discusses smart pointers in the C Standard library, focusing on C-11's two smart pointers. It covers the implementation of functions like 'operate' and 'get pointer', managing pointers, memory allocation, and best practices for memory deletion and reallocation. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using smart pointers to avoid memory leaks and improve code readability.

What is the primary concept that smart pointers in C++ are based on?

• Pointer arithmetic

• Manual memory management

• Resource acquisition as initialization

• Garbage collection

What is the purpose of the 'get pointer' function in the code?

• To perform arithmetic operations

• To create and return an integer instance

• To delete an integer instance

• To display the value of an integer

Why is it important to check if a pointer is null before using it?

• To save memory space

• To avoid syntax errors

• To ensure the pointer is not pointing to a deleted memory location

• To increase the speed of the program

What should be done immediately after deleting a pointer?

• Assign it a new value

• Perform a memory check

• Assign null PTR to it

• Display its value

What is a potential issue with writing code that manually manages memory in C++?

• It is too fast

• It can lead to memory leaks

• It is not compatible with C++11

• It requires too much memory

What is the benefit of using smart pointers over traditional pointers?

• They use less memory

• They are easier to write

• They automatically manage memory

• They are faster

What does the C macro used in the code expand to?

• The current function name

• The current line number

• The current file name

• The current date and time
