These two code blocks are totally unrelated to each other, at least for me.

Maybe class members of sorted list and copyList function is what would have been even better

Lemme look at simplified version

template <class T>
typename SortedList<T>::Node* SortedList<T>::copyList(Node* node) const {
    if (!node) return nullptr;

    Node* newNode = new Node(node->element);
    Node* current = newNode;
    node = node->next;

    while (node) {
        current->next = new Node(node->element);
        current = current->next;
        node = node->next;
    }
    return newNode;
}```

Ok so this does only throw when allocation fails, or am i missing something.

Seriously you need to simplify that, its so cryptic and unreadable for me, and will be for you given you come back to your project after a while

So anyways, that exception throwing type doesn't relate here

Would only if you derive the Node from it.

But still it's the pointers you're copying around not the Node object itself.

You're only allocating new memory that have a copy of the value contained in the old Node.
