A copy constructor in C++ classes is a specialized method used to create an object from another object of the same class. Other specialized C++ methods include nested classes and namespaces, which organize different classes in a logical and coherent manner while avoiding name conflicts. In this course, learn how to specify and use a copy constructor. Next, discover how classes and functions can be marked as friends. Finally, examine how nested classes can be defined and used in C++ and practice using namespaces to modularize your code. After completion of the course, you'll be able to create and implement a custom copy constructor, access private variables using friend functions and classes, and store functions and classes in namespaces.
