Types of Smart Pointers:

C++ libraries provide implementation of smart pointers in the following types:

• auto_ptr $\to$ no idea what that is
• uniqe_ptr $\to$ Unique Pointer
• shared_ptr $\to$ Shared Pointer
• weak_ptr $\to$ no idea what that is either

To use them, make sure to include <memory> library.
