What does destructor mean?
A destructor is a function or method that releases resources held by an object, such as memory or file handles, when the object is no longer needed. In programming, a destructor is typically used to clean up after an object's use.
Example
"The destructor was called to free the memory allocated by the object, preventing a memory leak."
