Message: [QUOTE="Sekhar, post: 2565807"] Both shallow copy and deep copy copies all of the member values and the difference lies in the case of fields which are dynamically allocated.A shallow copy will only copy the pointer for dynamically allocated memory. ie for dynamically allocated fields both the both points to the same location. A deep copy copies all fields, and makes copies of dynamically allocated memory pointed to by the fields. The default copy constructor and assignment operator make shallow copies whereas for making a deep copy we have to write copy constructor and overload the assignment operator. [/QUOTE]
