Does an object created with a copy constructor reference the same memory location that the original object references? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?

If properly coded, a copy constructor should create an object that is separate from the original object, that is each object should have distinct memory locations. The new object created by the copy constructor will have instance variables with the same values as the original object.
