What are constructors and destructors in C++?

Can you explain what constructors and destructors are in C++?

Sure! Constructors are special member functions that are called when an object is created. They initialize the object.

What about destructors? How do they work?

Destructors are also special member functions, but they are called when an object is destroyed. They clean up resources.

Can you give me an example of a constructor and destructor in code?

Of course! Here's a simple example:

class MyClass {
public:
    MyClass() { // Constructor
        // Initialization code
    }
    ~MyClass() { // Destructor
        // Cleanup code
    }
};

What happens if I don't define a destructor?

If you don't define a destructor, C++ provides a default one that will automatically release resources. However, if your class allocates dynamic memory, it's important to define one to avoid memory leaks.
