Can a destructor take arguments?
Short answer. No.
What is the destruction order?
Last made, first destroyed.
Remember
| ~ClassName, no arguments |
| Runs when object dies |
| Reverse order |
Two objects end together. Which one dies first? The destructor has a tilde. A is made first, then B. At the brace, B dies first. So it prints B A. Tilde and the class name. It runs when the object dies. Last made, first destroyed.
