What is "destructor"

Question

question in challege : Can a destructor take arguments ?

Answer 1

there is a destructor in c# tho, which is similar to java

Answer 2

opposite of constructor

Answer 3

in Java, there is no destructor instead you can use finalize or close

Answer 4

It is a method(eg a function) that gets executed when an object(eg class object) gets destroyed. Below is an example.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Person
{
public:
Person()
{
cout << "Person is created" << endl;
}

~Person()
{
cout << "Person is destroyed" << endl;
}
};

int main()
{
//Person is our class name
//person1 is our object
//Here the constructor is called
Person person1;

//Here is a Person object that is called within an inline scope so it gets destroyed before the end of the program
{
//person 2 created (constructor called as a function)
Person person2;
}//person2 destroyed (destructor called as a function)

return 0;
};

//At the end of the main function all variables are destroyed and thus the destructor is called

Answer 5

And no the destructor (at least in c++) does not take arguments
