What are some common errors in C++ programming?

What are some common errors I might encounter while programming in C++?

Some common errors in C++ include syntax errors, type mismatches, and memory leaks.

Can you explain what a memory leak is?

A memory leak occurs when a program allocates memory but fails to release it, leading to increased memory usage.

How can I prevent memory leaks in my C++ code?

You can prevent memory leaks by ensuring that every 'new' has a corresponding 'delete' and using smart pointers.

What are smart pointers?

Smart pointers are objects that manage the lifetime of dynamically allocated memory, automatically releasing it when no longer needed.
