Difference between copy constructor and assignment operator? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
The copy constructor is used to initialize a new instance from an old
instance, and is called when passing variables by value into functions
or as return values out of functions.
The assignment operator is used to change an existing instance to have
the same values as the rvalue, which means that the instance has to be
destroyed and re-initialized if it has internal dynamic memory.
