•Shallow Copy:
–The data members of one object are copied into the data members of another object without taking any dynamic memory pointed to by those data members into consideration. (“memberwise copy”)
•Deep Copy:
–Any dynamic memory pointed to by the data members is duplicated and the contents of that memory is copied (via copy constructors and assignment operators -- when overloaded)
