Creational Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Basic Example - demonstrates how to implement the prototype pattern

The video tutorial introduces the prototype design pattern, explaining the need for a base class with a clone method that subclasses implement. It demonstrates creating concrete prototypes and a client that interacts with these prototypes. The tutorial highlights the importance of proper memory management when cloning objects, suggesting the use of smart pointers. The video concludes with a discussion on the structure of the prototype pattern and a preview of the next lecture.

Describe how clients can create clones of prototypes.

What is the significance of using smart pointers in the context of the prototype design pattern?
