Constructors & Destructors

Constructor

A special method invoked automatically at the time of object creation to initialize data members. It has the same name as the class.

• Default constructor: Has no argument.
• Parameterized constructor: Has parameters to provide different values to distinct objects.
• Copy Constructor: Overloaded constructor used to declare and initialize an object from another object (default and user-defined).

Destructor

Works opposite to constructor; it destructs objects of classes. Defined only once in a class, invoked automatically, and prefixed with a tilde sign (~).
