How do you handle memory management in C++ versus Rust?
In C++, you have to manage memory manually using pointers and ensure proper allocation and deallocation with new and delete.

Rust uses an ownership model with a strict borrow checker, which prevents memory leaks and dangling pointers at compile time.

Rust’s memory management is safer but can be harder to understand at first due to the ownership system.

In C++, you have more control but also more room for errors, while Rust reduces the risk of bugs related to memory safety.

Rust forces you to handle memory issues at compile time, whereas C++ can lead to runtime errors if memory isn’t managed correctly.
