题目：深拷贝和浅拷贝有什么区别？如何应用？

解法：深拷贝传值，浅拷贝传引用。java里对此做了限制，而C++里面用起来更自由。大结构不宜传值，因为拷贝过程效率低。

代码：

// 13.4 What's deep copy and shallow copy? Expain their appications in different cases.
// Answer:
//    deep copy:
//        1. pass by value, often used on small data type, built-in data types.
//        2. data is usually persistent, can be seriailzed directly.
//        3. the data to be deep-copied usually represents objects and entities.
//    shallow copy:
//        1. pass by reference or pointer, often used on large struct or class.
//        2. data is volatile, serialization must be done with the help of persistent data type.
//        3. the data to be shallow-copied usually represents relations and mappings between entities.
int main()

    return 0;
