Link to gfg: Trie Data Structure using smart pointer
I came across this implementation of Trie Data Structure using shared pointers. But I don't understand the purpose of using shared pointers.
Can we not simply use unique pointers here?

3Did you read the page you linked? There is a paragraph that starts with, *"Why shared_ptr instead of all other smart pointers (auto_ptr, unique_ptr, weak_ptr)?* – Adrian Mole Apr 11 '23 at 13:57

Sorry, I understand now. – Ojas Bhamare Apr 11 '23 at 13:59

Having read that article, that's a bad implementation, and you shouldn't copy it. Do it yourself with `unique_ptr` – Caleth Apr 11 '23 at 15:45

Yes, I get it. Thanks @Caleth – Ojas Bhamare Apr 11 '23 at 19:01
