Constructors are special member functions that initialize objects of a class. There are different types of constructors including default, parameterized, and copy constructors. Destructors are used to destroy objects and their name is the same as the class name but preceded by a tilde. Constructors and destructors are important aspects of object oriented programming.

3. CONCEPT OF CONSTRUCTOR
• A constructor is a special member function
whose task is to initialize the objects of that
class.
• It is special because its name is the same as
the class name.
• Constructor is invoked whenever an object of
the associated class is created.
• It is called constructor because it constructs
the values of data members of the class.

4. TYPES OF CONSTRUCTOR
• Default constructor:
A constructor that accepts no parameters is called
the default constructor.
• Parameterized constructor:
The constructor that can take arguments is called as
parameterized constructor.
• Copy constructor:
a constructor can accept a reference to its own class
as a parameter which is called as copy constructor.

5. OVERLOADED CONSTRUCTOR
• When more than one constructor function is
defined in a class, we say the constructor is
overloaded.

6. DESTRUCTOR
• A destructor, as the name implies is used to
destroy the objects that have been created by
a constructor.
• Like a constructor, the destructor is also a
special member function whose name is the
same as the class name but is preceded by a
tilde(~).
• Example: the destructor for class integer can
be defined as shown below
~integer() {}

7. DESTRUCTOR
• A destructor, as the name implies is used to
destroy the objects that have been created by
a constructor.
• Like a constructor, the destructor is also a
special member function whose name is the
same as the class name but is preceded by a
tilde(~).
• Example: the destructor for class integer can
be defined as shown below
~integer() {}
