A '''constructor''' is a member function.

It has the same name as the '''class name'''.

'''Constructors''' cannot return values.

'''Constructor''' is automatically called when an object is created.

Types of Constructors are:

'''Parameterized Constructors.'''

'''Copy Constructors.'''

'''Default Constructors.'''

We will discuss about them in another tutorial.No details about destructors. Pls change the opening statement or provide an additional slide for destructors.

'''Destructors''' are used to deallocate memory.

They are called when an '''object''' is destroyed.

A '''destructor''' takes no arguments and has no '''return types'''.

I have already typed the code on the editor,

So i will open it.

Let me explain the code now.

A '''constructor''' has the same name as the class name.

We have passed two arguements here.

It is a member function of the class '''Addition.'''

Here we have passed two arguments.

'''int x''' and '''int y.'''

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:1pt solid #000000;border-left:1pt solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Highlight

And the value of '''y''' will be stored in variable '''b'''.

Here we pass two values as '''3''' and '''4'''.

'''3''' will be stored in '''x''' and '''4''' will be stored in '''y'''.

Which means a's value will be 3 and b's vaue will be 4.

Here we call the function '''add '''through''' '''the object''' obj'''.
