Can we make copy constructor private?

Yes, a copy constructor can be made private. When we make a copy constructor private in a class, objects of that class become non-copyable. This is particularly useful when our class has pointers or dynamically allocated resources. In such situations, we can either write our own copy constructor like above String example, or make a private copy constructor so that users get compiler errors rather than surprises at run time.
