Pointers are a foundational concept in C and C++ that allows developers to manage memory and manipulate objects dynamically. However, traditional pointers come with challenges such as memory leaks, dangling pointers, and complex manual memory management. To address these issues, modern C++ introduces smart pointers, a powerful abstraction that automates memory management and ensures resource safety.
