00:00:00,770 --> 00:00:08,000
Distractors in C++, so an object's destructor is its clean up function.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,010
So this destructor is invoked before an object is destroyed.

3
00:00:13,010 --> 00:00:19,940
So distractors are almost never called explicitly, So the compiler will ensure that the each object's

4
00:00:19,940 --> 00:00:22,910
detractor is called as appropriate.

5
00:00:22,910 --> 00:00:27,380
So you declare a class destructor with the child here.

6
00:00:28,130 --> 00:00:33,080
Child followed by the name of the class here.

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,220
Child here.

8
00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:37,290
My date and time.

9
00:00:37,650 --> 00:00:39,930
This way you can sit a distractor here.

10
00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:41,740
So.

11
00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:47,070
Here we declare that my date and time destructor.

12
00:00:47,130 --> 00:00:53,850
So here, let's let's write a sound called here that will.

13
00:00:54,890 --> 00:00:57,710
Tell us when the object will.

14
00:00:57,710 --> 00:01:05,360
We will print some we will print something on the console screen when our object is distracted here.

15
00:01:05,930 --> 00:01:11,630
Object this destructor here.

16
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:15,320
So defining this destructor is optional.

17
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:20,900
So if you decide to implement a destructor, it must not take any arguments.

18
00:01:21,110 --> 00:01:28,130
Examples of actions you might want to take in a destructor include releasing file handler handlers,

19
00:01:28,130 --> 00:01:31,850
flushing network circuits, and freeing dynamic objects.

20
00:01:31,850 --> 00:01:37,490
So if you don't define a destructor, a default destructor is automatically generated.

21
00:01:37,490 --> 00:01:42,290
So the default destructor behavior is to perform no action.

22
00:01:42,290 --> 00:01:48,650
So you you will learn a whole lot more about distractors in the next lectures.
