In modern C++, the common wisdom is to prefer smart pointers over raw pointers. But since they are still so common in C++ code and C++ libraries, many C++ programmers do not stop using them. If that’s the case, then they should learn how to use them efficiently. This video explains how pointer operations behave and to have a better understanding on using raw pointers and built-in arrays.
