In C++ there is a difference between using curly braces and parenthesis. Parenthesis will call the constructor and setup any arguments. Curly braces may also call the right constructor, but will also prevent narrowing (i.e. conversion of types). In addition, using curly braces to initialize an object will use a constructor with an std::initializer_list if one is defined. ►YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/MikeShah ►Please like and subscribe to help the channel!
