How to implemet copy constructor in C++ - c++

Question

this is the header of a class that I have been designing for an assignment. I have included constructors, a destructors, as well as overloaded operators. Could you give me a hint how to properly define the constructors in a class using c++ 20 most recent features in an efficient way.
#ifndef VECTOR_DOUBLE_H
#define VECTOR_DOUBLE_H
#include <memory>
#include <vector>
class vector_double {
public:
vector_double(int size);
vector_double(std::initializer_list<double> lst);
vector_double(const double* array, int size);
vector_double(const vector_doubler& other);
vector_doubleoperator=(const vector_double& other);
// because I use a managed pointer I don't need a destructor
~vector_double() noexcept = default;
void set(int index, double val);
double& get(int index);
const double& get(int index) const;
int size() const;
void reset(double val);
void fill_from(std::initializer_list<double> lst);
void fill_from(const double* array, int size);
int copy_to(std::vector<double>& vec) const;
double& operator[](int index);
const double& operator[](int index) const;
operator double() const;
vector_double add(const vector_double& other) const;
vector_doubleadd(double number) const;
vector_doublemul_by(double number) const;
void resize(int size);
friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const vector_double& vec);
private:
std::unique_ptr<double[]> m_array;
int m_size;
};
inline std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const vector_double& vec){
if (vec.m_size == 0){
out << "{ }";
}
else{
auto first = true;
out << '{';
for (int i=0; i < vec.m_size; ++i){
if (!first)
out << ", ";
else
first = !first;
out << vec.m_array[i];
}
out << '}';
}
return out;
}
#endif //VECTOR_DOUBLE_H

This example definition may help, I tried sticking to C++20 features:
