How do constructors and destructors work in inheritance?

Can you explain how constructors and destructors work in inheritance?

Sure! In inheritance, constructors are called in the order of the base class to derived class, while destructors are called in the reverse order.

What happens if a derived class doesn't have its own constructor?

If a derived class doesn't have its own constructor, the base class constructor is called automatically when an object of the derived class is created.

Can you give an example of this in C++?

Absolutely! In C++, if you have a base class Animal and a derived class Dog, the Animal constructor will run first when you create a Dog object.

What about destructors? How are they handled?

Destructors are called in the reverse order. So, when a Dog object is destroyed, its destructor runs first, followed by the Animal destructor.
