Discussion Post: Constructors and Destructors
When a constructor with parameters is written, the default constructor is no longer provided automatically and must be explicitly written. The most common way to declare a destructor explicitly is to use an identifier that consists of a tilde followed by the class name.
• Explain the purpose of a constructor method. Note that constructors typically provide initial values for the fields of an object.
• Discuss the use of the default constructor that takes no arguments and contrast it with a non-default constructor, otherwise known as a parameterized constructor that requires arguments.
• Describe the purpose of a destructor method. Explain when destructors are called, and note that a default destructor is provided automatically.
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
