More Kinds of Constructors
Explore the key types of constructors in C++ including copy constructors for duplicating objects, move constructors for efficient resource transfer, and explicit constructors to control implicit conversions. Understand how to implement and use these constructors to manage classes and objects effectively.

Copy constructors #
The copy constructor allows a class to create an object by copying an existing object.

};
All the values of other can be copied into the new object. Both objects will have the same values afterward.
