Hi all Can anyone tell me definition of Smartpointers in simple by G. Palani samy

[Zac Howland]

They are classes that wrap a pointer and delete it when the object goes out of scope. Typically, you pass in the pointer in the constructor of a smart pointer, and the destructor will delete it. There are also some smart pointers that do reference counting and will only delete the pointer once the count has reached 0.
