Creational Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Cloning Types

The video tutorial explains the concepts of shallow and deep copying in programming. Shallow copy duplicates an object's state, including references, leading to shared references between the original and the copy. Deep copy, however, duplicates the objects that references point to, ensuring independent copies. The tutorial also covers the prototype pattern, where a clone method is used to create copies, which can be either shallow or deep, depending on the implementation. This method allows clients to clone objects without knowing their specific types.
