    destructor does what?

    hi there,
    I know that a constructor is normally to initialise variable,
    however what does a destructor do?
    Can anyone explain?
    Thanks

    It is your last chance to do something before the object is destroyed. E.g to delete from heap if your object had allocated them earlier and so forth..
