►Lesson Description: In this lesson I show you how to use a std::unique_ptr. I will show you why we might want to use this smart pointer versus a raw pointer, and how to create this pointer. While we haven't covered classes yet in this series, it's important to realize that this smart pointer is essentially a 'wrapper' around a raw pointer that calls the destructor to free memory when the pointer leaves scope.

Note: Something not covered in this lesson is the idea of a 'custom deleter' which can be useful.
