Answer / amar
Copy constructors is used in following cases.
1) When object is passed by values to a fucntion
2) when function returns object by value
3) When new object is created from exixting object using
overlaoded = operator.
If user has not defined its own copy constructor, compiler
synthesised constructor would be called which will do
shallow copy. So if you have pointer in your class then only
the pointer value is copied and not the contents which
pointer points to.
