Weak Pointers
Explore the purpose and functionality of std::weak_ptr in C++. Understand how it differs from shared pointers by borrowing resources without ownership, and learn its key methods for managing resource lifetimes. This lesson prepares you to handle cyclic references effectively in later topics.
