Constructors and Destructors
A constructor is automatically called when an object is created. A destructor is called when an object is destroyed.
class Student
{
public:
Student()
{
cout << "Object created";
}
~Student()
{
cout << "Object destroyed";
}
};Constructors are commonly used for initialization and destructors are used for cleanup.
