Because resizing a vector is expensive, the `std::vector` class uses exponential growth to minimize the number of times that the vector is resized: a technique we replicate in this version. But every
Read MoreIn the previous article, I went over basic allocation for a `Vector` like class. In this article, I want to put some detail around the copy assignment operator and resizing the underlying `Vector`. U
Read MoreMany new developers of C++ attempt to build a `Vector` like container as a learning process. Getting a simple version of this working for POD types (like int) is not that complicated. The next step i
Read MoreThis article examines constructors that are often overlooked. It examines their use cases and explains why the added functionality is meaningful in relation to smart pointers. ## Default Constructor
Read MoreSo in [the previous article](https://lokiastari.com/posts/Smart-Pointer-UniquePointer), I covered a basic `unique` pointer where the smart pointer retained sole ownership of the pointer. The `shared`
